Question

a) \(\left(\frac{3}{7}+\frac{1}{2}\right)^2\)

b) \(\left(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{5}{6}\right)^2\)

c) \(\frac{5^4.20^4}{25^5.4^5}\)

d) \(\left(\frac{-10}{3}\right)^5.\left(\frac{-6}{5}\right)^4\)

 

Answer 1

\(\left(\frac{3}{7}+\frac{1}{2}\right)^2=\left(\frac{13}{14}\right)^2=\frac{169}{196}\)

\(\left(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{5}{6}\right)^2=\left(-\frac{1}{12}\right)^2=\frac{1}{144}\)

\(\frac{5^4.20^4}{25^5.4^5}=\frac{5^8.2^8}{5^{10}.42^{10}}=\frac{1}{100}\)

\(\left(-\frac{10}{3}\right)^5.\left(-\frac{6}{5}\right)^4=\left[\left(-\frac{10}{3}\right).\left(-\frac{6}{5}\right)\right]^4.\left(-\frac{10}{3}\right)=4^4.\left(-\frac{10}{3}\right)=-\frac{2560}{3}\)

Answer 2

a. \(\left(\frac{3}{7}+\frac{1}{2}\right)^2=\left(\frac{6+7}{14}\right)^2=\left(\frac{13}{14}\right)^2=\frac{13^2}{14^2}=\frac{169}{196}\)

b. \(\left(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{5}{6}\right)^2=\left(\frac{9-10}{12}\right)^2=\left(-\frac{1}{12}\right)^2=\frac{\left(-1\right)^2}{12^2}=\frac{1}{144}\)

c. \(\frac{5^4.20^4}{25^5.4^5}=\frac{\left(5.20\right)^4}{\left(25.4\right)^5}=\frac{100^4}{100^5}=\frac{1}{100}\)

d.\(\left(-\frac{10}{3}\right)^5.\left(-\frac{6}{5}\right)^4=\frac{\left(-10\right)^5}{3^5}.\frac{\left(-6\right)^4}{5^4}=\frac{\left(-2.5\right)^5.\left(-2.3\right)^4}{3^5.5^4}=\frac{\left(-2\right)^5.5^5.\left(-2\right)^4.3^4}{3^5.5^4}=\frac{\left(-2\right)^9.5}{3}=\frac{-512.5}{3}=-\frac{2560}{3}\)
