Solution

Let's break down the math problems visible in the image.

1. First Question (Exponent Laws):

You are asked to determine the correct statements among four expressions involving exponents.

  • Expression 1: m3×m5=m8m^3 \times m^5 = m^8

    • This is correct, as ma×mb=ma+bm^a \times m^b = m^{a+b}.
  • Expression 2: 77×72=787^7 \times 7^2 = 7^8

    • This is incorrect because it should be 77+2=797^{7+2} = 7^9.
  • Expression 3: xn×x4=xn2x^n \times x^4 = x^{n^2}

    • This is incorrect, because xn×x4=xn+4x^n \times x^4 = x^{n+4}, not xn2x^{n^2}.
  • Expression 4: n8×n4=n32n^8 \times n^4 = n^{32}

    • This is incorrect. It should be n8+4=n12n^{8+4} = n^{12}, not n32n^{32}.

Thus, the correct answer is 1) dan 2), which matches option A.


2. Second Question (Exponent Expressions):

In this question, you need to check which statements about exponents are correct.

  • Statement 1: 4342=4\frac{4^3}{4^2} = 4

    • This is correct, as 4342=432=41=4\frac{4^3}{4^2} = 4^{3-2} = 4^1 = 4.
  • Statement 2: (4)7(4)2=(4)5\frac{(-4)^7}{(-4)^2} = (-4)^5

    • This is correct, as (4)7(4)2=(4)72=(4)5\frac{(-4)^7}{(-4)^2} = (-4)^{7-2} = (-4)^5.
  • Statement 3: xx2=x7\frac{x}{x^2} = x^7

    • This is incorrect. Simplifying xx2\frac{x}{x^2}, you get x12=x1x^{1-2} = x^{-1}, not x7x^7.
  • Statement 4: y10y8=y12\frac{y^{10}}{y^8} = y^{12}

    • This is incorrect. It should be y108=y2y^{10-8} = y^2, not y12y^{12}.

Thus, the correct statements are 1) dan 2), which corresponds to option A.


3. Third Question (Surface Area and Volume of a Cube):

The side length of the cube is given as 3t3t. You are asked to find the ratio of the surface area to the volume.

  • The surface area of a cube with side length ss is 6s26s^2, so with side length 3t3t, the surface area is: 6(3t)2=6×9t2=54t26(3t)^2 = 6 \times 9t^2 = 54t^2

  • The volume of a cube with side length ss is s3s^3, so the volume is: (3t)3=27t3(3t)^3 = 27t^3

Thus, the ratio of surface area to volume is: 54t227t3=5427×1t=2:t\frac{54t^2}{27t^3} = \frac{54}{27} \times \frac{1}{t} = 2:t

The correct answer is option A: 2 : t.

Tip:

When simplifying expressions with exponents, always apply the basic exponent rules: multiplication means adding exponents, and division means subtracting them.
