Math Problem Statement

Solve the following algebraic expressions by multiplying terms with the same base and simplifying the exponents.

Solution

Let's break down and solve the given problems one by one.

(i)

(10x2y5)(2x4y)(5x10y7)=AxByC(10x^2y^5)(-2x^4y)(-5x^{10}y^7) = Ax^B y^C

  • First, multiply the constants: 10×(2)×(5)=10010 \times (-2) \times (-5) = 100.
  • For the powers of xx: Add the exponents 2+4+10=162 + 4 + 10 = 16.
  • For the powers of yy: Add the exponents 5+1+7=135 + 1 + 7 = 13.

Thus, the equation becomes: 100x16y13=AxByC100x^{16}y^{13} = Ax^By^C Comparing both sides, we get:

  • A=100A = 100
  • B=16B = 16
  • C=13C = 13

(ii)

(23a3b6)(52a4b4)(35aMbN)=a17b19\left( \frac{2}{3} a^3 b^6 \right) \left( \frac{5}{2} a^4 b^4 \right) \left( \frac{3}{5} a^M b^N \right) = a^{17} b^{19}

  • First, multiply the constants: 23×52×35=1\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{3}{5} = 1.
  • For aa: Add the exponents 3+4+M=173 + 4 + M = 17, giving M=10M = 10.
  • For bb: Add the exponents 6+4+N=196 + 4 + N = 19, giving N=9N = 9.

Thus, M=10M = 10 and N=9N = 9.

(iii)

(1.2m2n5)(0.5m6n3)(10m3n2)=Km11n10(1.2m^2n^5)(0.5m^6n^3)(10m^3n^2) = Km^{11}n^{10}

  • First, multiply the constants: 1.2×0.5×10=61.2 \times 0.5 \times 10 = 6.
  • For mm: Add the exponents 2+6+3=112 + 6 + 3 = 11.
  • For nn: Add the exponents 5+3+2=105 + 3 + 2 = 10.

Thus, K=6K = 6.

(iv)

(11x10y11)(9x15y9)(2x5y10)(x6y2)=198A(-11x^{10}y^{11})(-9x^{15}y^9)(2x^5y^{10})(x^6y^2) = 198A

  • First, multiply the constants: 11×9×2×1=198-11 \times -9 \times 2 \times 1 = 198.
  • For xx: Add the exponents 10+15+5+6=3610 + 15 + 5 + 6 = 36.
  • For yy: Add the exponents 11+9+10+2=3211 + 9 + 10 + 2 = 32.

Thus, the equation becomes: 198x36y32=198A198x^{36}y^{32} = 198A So, A=x36y32A = x^{36} y^{32}.
