Solution

Let me analyze the questions from the image and work through them.

Problem 4:

We need to evaluate the expression:

0.8a5(b+c)2c2(b+c)21×109\frac{0.8a^5(b+c)^2c^2(b+c)^{-2}}{1 \times 10^9}

Simplifying the numerator:

0.8a5(b+c)2c2(b+c)20.8a^5(b+c)^2c^2(b+c)^{-2}

The terms (b+c)2(b+c)^2 and (b+c)2(b+c)^{-2} cancel each other out, leaving:

0.8a5c20.8a^5c^2

So the expression becomes:

0.8a5c21×109\frac{0.8a^5c^2}{1 \times 10^9}

This simplifies to:

0.8a5c2×1090.8a^5c^2 \times 10^{-9}

Multiplying 0.80.8 by 10910^{-9}:

8×1010a5c2=80a5c2×10118 \times 10^{-10} \cdot a^5c^2 = 80a^5c^2 \times 10^{-11}

Thus, the answer is 80a5c280a^5c^2, which corresponds to option B.


Problem 5:

We need to simplify the expression:

254×6253(1251×53)\frac{25^{-4} \times 625^{-3}}{(125^{-1} \times 5^{-3})}

First, express 25, 625, and 125 in terms of base 5:

  • 25=5225 = 5^2, so 254=(52)4=5825^{-4} = (5^2)^{-4} = 5^{-8}
  • 625=54625 = 5^4, so 6253=(54)3=512625^{-3} = (5^4)^{-3} = 5^{-12}
  • 125=53125 = 5^3, so 1251=(53)1=53125^{-1} = (5^3)^{-1} = 5^{-3}

Substitute these back into the expression:

58×51253×53=52056=514\frac{5^{-8} \times 5^{-12}}{5^{-3} \times 5^{-3}} = \frac{5^{-20}}{5^{-6}} = 5^{-14}

Thus, the answer is 5145^{-14}, which corresponds to option C.


Problem 6:

We need to simplify the expression:

42×44×3325×53\frac{4^{-2} \times 4^{-4} \times 3^{-3}}{2^{-5} \times 5^{-3}}

First, express 4 as a power of 2:

  • 4=224 = 2^2, so 42=(22)2=244^{-2} = (2^2)^{-2} = 2^{-4} and 44=(22)4=284^{-4} = (2^2)^{-4} = 2^{-8}

Substitute these into the expression:

24×28×3325×53=212×3325×53\frac{2^{-4} \times 2^{-8} \times 3^{-3}}{2^{-5} \times 5^{-3}} = \frac{2^{-12} \times 3^{-3}}{2^{-5} \times 5^{-3}}

Now simplify:

21225=27\frac{2^{-12}}{2^{-5}} = 2^{-7}

Thus, the expression becomes:

27×33×532^{-7} \times 3^{-3} \times 5^3

This is simplified as:

27×33×532^{-7} \times 3^{-3} \times 5^3

So the answer is option A: 27×33×532^{-7} \times 3^{-3} \times 5^3.


Problem 7:

Simplify the following expression:

a2b6c6c4b3a2\frac{a^2b^6c^6}{c^{-4}b^{-3}a^2}

Start by simplifying the powers for each variable:

  • For aa, we have: a2/a2=a0=1a^2 / a^2 = a^0 = 1
  • For bb, we have: b6/b3=b6+3=b9b^6 / b^{-3} = b^{6+3} = b^9
  • For cc, we have: c6/c4=c6+4=c10c^6 / c^{-4} = c^{6+4} = c^{10}

Thus, the simplified expression is:

b9c10b^9c^{10}

So the answer is b9c10b^9c^{10}.
