Problem 2: Simplify the following exponential expressions.

(a) 5152×53\frac{5^1}{5^2 \times 5^3}
(b) 72×6475\frac{7^2 \times 6^4}{7^5}
(c) (1w)4×(1w)\left(\frac{1}{w}\right)^4 \times \left(\frac{1}{w}\right)
(d) 3p7p3×5p1\frac{3p^7}{p^3} \times 5p^1

Solutions:

(a) 5152×53\frac{5^1}{5^2 \times 5^3}

Simplify using the properties of exponents: 5155=515=54=154\frac{5^1}{5^5} = 5^{1-5} = 5^{-4} = \frac{1}{5^4}

(b) 72×6475\frac{7^2 \times 6^4}{7^5}

Simplify the expression involving 77: 7275×64=725×64=73×64=6473\frac{7^2}{7^5} \times 6^4 = 7^{2-5} \times 6^4 = 7^{-3} \times 6^4 = \frac{6^4}{7^3}

(c) (1w)4×(1w)\left(\frac{1}{w}\right)^4 \times \left(\frac{1}{w}\right)

Simplify using the property of exponents: (1w)4+1=(1w)5=1w5\left(\frac{1}{w}\right)^{4+1} = \left(\frac{1}{w}\right)^5 = \frac{1}{w^5}

(d) 3p7p3×5p1\frac{3p^7}{p^3} \times 5p^1

Simplify the expression involving pp: 3p7p3×5p1=3p73×5p1=3p4×5p1=15p4+1=15p5\frac{3p^7}{p^3} \times 5p^1 = 3p^{7-3} \times 5p^1 = 3p^4 \times 5p^1 = 15p^{4+1} = 15p^5


Problem 3: Simplify the following algebraic expressions.

(a) 3py5by×2b32x\frac{-3p \sqrt{y}}{5by} \times \frac{-2b^3}{2x}
(b) 75a4×(1516)3/2\frac{7^5}{a^4} \times \left(\frac{15}{16}\right)^{3/2}
(c) 3524×52\frac{3^5}{2^4 \times 5^2}
(d) 2n+2×272n+5\frac{2^{n+2} \times 2^7}{2^{n+5}}

Solutions:

(a) 3py5by×2b32x\frac{-3p \sqrt{y}}{5by} \times \frac{-2b^3}{2x}

First, simplify the multiplication of the fractions: (3py)×(2b3)(5by)×(2x)=6pb3y10bxy=3pb2y5xy\frac{(-3p \sqrt{y}) \times (-2b^3)}{(5by) \times (2x)} = \frac{6pb^3 \sqrt{y}}{10bxy} = \frac{3pb^2 \sqrt{y}}{5xy}

(b) 75a4×(1516)3/2\frac{7^5}{a^4} \times \left(\frac{15}{16}\right)^{3/2}

Simplify the multiplication: 75a4×(1516)3/2\frac{7^5}{a^4} \times \left(\frac{15}{16}\right)^{3/2} Here, the expression is already simplified as much as possible unless further specific simplifications for (1516)3/2\left(\frac{15}{16}\right)^{3/2} are requested.

(c) 3524×52\frac{3^5}{2^4 \times 5^2}

Calculate the powers of the numbers: 24316×25=243400\frac{243}{16 \times 25} = \frac{243}{400}

(d) 2n+2×272n+5\frac{2^{n+2} \times 2^7}{2^{n+5}}

Simplify using the properties of exponents: 2n+2+72n+5=2n+92n+5=2n+9n5=24\frac{2^{n+2+7}}{2^{n+5}} = \frac{2^{n+9}}{2^{n+5}} = 2^{n+9-n-5} = 2^{4}
