Evaluate the product of $2.3\times 10^4$ and $3\times 10^3$.

  1. $6.9\times 10^4$
  2. $6.9\times 10^7$
  3. $6.9\times 10^8$
  4. $6.9\times 10^6$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

$(2.3\times 10^4) \times (3 \times 10^3)$
$\Rightarrow (2.3 \times 3) \times(10^{3+4})$

$\therefore 6.9 \times 10^7$
Ans- Option $B$.

Multiple choice maths square and square root scientific notation use of exponents power of 10

Solve:

$\cfrac{2.3^{n+1} + 7.3^{n-1}}{3^{n+2}-2 \left ( \cfrac{1}{3} \right )^{1-n}} $

  1. $0$
  2. $1$
  3. $2$
  4. $3$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

We have,

$\cfrac{2.3^{n+1} + 7.3^{n-1}}{3^{n+2}-2 \left ( \cfrac{1}{3} \right )^{1-n}}  $

$\Rightarrow \cfrac{6.3^n+ \dfrac{7}{3}.3^n}{9.3^n-\dfrac{2}{3}. 3^n}  $

$\Rightarrow \cfrac{18.3^n+ 7.3^n}{27.3^n-2. 3^n}  $

$\Rightarrow \cfrac{25.3^n}{25.3^n}  $

$\Rightarrow 1  $

Hence, this is the answer.

The average distance between the Sun and a certain planet is approximately $\displaystyle 2.3\times { 10 }^{ 14 }$ inches. Which of the following is closest to the average distance between the Sun and the planet, in kilometers? (1 kilometer is approximately $\displaystyle 3.9\times { 10 }^{ 4 }$ inches )

  1. $\displaystyle 7.1\times { 10 }^{ 8 }$
  2. $\displaystyle 5.9\times { 10 }^{ 9 }$
  3. $\displaystyle 1.6\times { 10 }^{ 10 }$
  4. $\displaystyle 1.6\times { 10 }^{ 111 }$
  5. $\displaystyle 5.9\times { 10 }^{ 11 }$

B Correct answer
Explanation

The average distance in KM will be $\frac { 2.3\times { 10 }^{ 14 } }{ 3.9\times { 10 }^{ 4 } } =0.59\times { 10 }^{ 10 }=5.9\times { 10 }^{ 9 }\quad km$

So correct answer will be option B

Express $(3000)^2\times (20)^3$ in scientific notation:

  1. $7.2\times 10^{10}$
  2. $3.6\times 10^{8}$
  3. $6\times 10^9$
  4. $4.8\times 10^{12}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

${ 3000 }^{ 2 }\times { 20 }^{ 3 }=(9\times { 10 }^{ 6 })\times (8\times { 10 }^{ 3 })\ =72\times { 10 }^{ 9 }=7.2\times { 10 }^{ 10 }$

So correct answer will be option A

Which of the following is greater than 1000.01 ?

  1. 0.00010001 x 10$\displaystyle ^{7}$
  2. 0.00001 x 10$\displaystyle ^{8}$
  3. 1.1 x 10$\displaystyle ^{2}$
  4. 1.00001 x 10$\displaystyle ^{3}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A $\Rightarrow \displaystyle 0.00010001\times 10^{7}=1000.1 $
B $\Rightarrow \displaystyle 0.00001\times 10^{8}=1000 $
C $\Rightarrow \displaystyle 1.1\times 10^{2}=110 $
D $\Rightarrow \displaystyle 1.00001\times 10^{3}=1000.01 $

We observe that $\displaystyle 1000.1> 1000.01 $
i.e., $\displaystyle 0.00010001\times 10^{7}> 1000.01 $

What is the smallest integer n for which $\displaystyle { 25 }^{ n }>{ 5 }^{ 12 }$?

  1. $6$
  2. $7$
  3. $8$
  4. $9$

  5. 10
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

${25}^{n}>{5}^{12}$

${({5}^{2})}^{n}>{5}^{12}$
${{5}^{2n}}>{5}^{12}$
Comparing the power
$2n>12$
$n>\dfrac{12}{2}$
$n>6$
Smallest integer greater than $6$ will be $7$
