16.
Which of the following is the standard form of 0.00001275?
1.275 \(\times\) 10-5
1.275 \(\times\) 10-5
127.5 \(\times\) 10-7
127.5\(\times\) 107

1.
\(7.54 \times 10^{-4}=\frac{7.54}{10^{4}}=\frac{7.54}{10000}=0.000754\)
2.
1.278 \(\times\)10-5
3.
Given, \(5^{m}\div 5^{-3}=5^{5}\) ⇒ \(\frac{5^{m}}{5^{-3}}=5^{5}\)
⇒ 5m-(-3) = 55 \([\because \frac{a^{m}}{a^{n}}=a^{m-n}]\)
⇒ 5m+3 = 55
On comparing the powers of 5 of both sides, we get
m + 3 = 5 ⇒ m = 5 - 3 ⇒ m = 2
Hence, the value of m is 2.
4.
32 \(\times\) 3-5 \(\times\) 36 = 32+(-5)+6 = 38-5 = 33
5.
Multiplicative inverse of 10-100 is 10100.
6.
We have
\(2.0001\times { 10 }^{ 9 }=\frac { 20001 }{ 10000 } \times 1000000000\)
= 20001 \(\times\) 100000
= 2000100000
Thus, 2.0001 \(\times\) 109 = 2000100000
7.
Since, \({ \left( \frac { a }{ b } \right) }^{ m }=\frac { { a }^{ m } }{ { b }^{ m } } \quad and\quad { (a }^{ m })^{ n }={ a }^{ mn }\)
\(\therefore \quad { \left[ { \left( \frac { -4 }{ 5 } \right) }^{ -2 } \right] }^{ 2 }={ \left( \frac { -4 }{ 5 } \right) }^{ -2\times 2 }={ \left( \frac { -4 }{ 5 } \right) }^{ -4 }={ \left( \frac { 5 }{ -4 } \right) }^{ 4 }\)
\(=\frac { 5\times 5\times 5\times 5 }{ (-4)\times (-4)\times (-4)\times (-4) } =\frac { 625 }{ 256 } \)
Thuss, \({ \left[ { \left( \frac { -4 }{ 5 } \right) }^{ -2 } \right] }^{ 2 }=\frac { 625 }{ 256 } \)
8.
Size of red blood cell = 0.000007 m
\(=\frac { 7 }{ 1000000 } =7\times { 10 }^{ -6 }m\)
Size of the plant cell = 0.0000129 m
\(=\frac { 129 }{ 10000000 } m=\frac { 1.29\times { 10 }^{ 2 } }{ 10000000 } m=1.29\times { 10 }^{ -5 }m\)
Now \(\frac { 7\times { 10 }^{ -6 } }{ 1.29\times { 10 }^{ -5 } } =\frac { 7\times { 10 }^{ -1 } }{ 1.29 } \)
\(=\frac { 7\times { 10 }^{ -1 } }{ 1.3 } =\frac { 0.7 }{ 1.3 } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) (approx.)
Thus, the size of a red blood cell is half of the plant cell size.
9.
We have, \(\frac{1.5\times 10^{6}}{2.5\times 10^{4}}\)=\(\frac{1.5\times 10^{2}\times10^{4}}{2.5\times 10^{4}}\)
=\(\frac{150}{2.5}\times10^{4-4}=\frac{150}{2.5}\times 10^{0}\)
= 60 x 1 = 60 = 6.0 x 101 = 6.0 x 10

13.
The fraction of substance remains after 7 half- lives =3-7=\(\frac{1}{3^{7}}\)
ஃ \(3^{-x}=\frac{1}{243}=\frac{1}{3\times3\times3\times3\times3}=\frac{1}{3^{5}}\)
⇒ \(3^{-x}=3^{-5}\)
⇒ \((3)^{-x}=(3)^{-5}\)
⇒ -x=-5 [∵ bases are same]]
Hence, after 5 half-lives, the fraction will be \(\frac{1}{243}\) of the original.
