Evaluate \begin{aligned} 256^{0.16} \times (256)^{0.09} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= 256^{0.16+0.09} = 256^{0.25} = 256^{\frac{25}{100}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= 256^{\frac{1}{4}}= (4^4)^{\frac{1}{4}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=(4)^{4 \times \frac{1}{4}} = 4
\end{aligned}

1. \begin{aligned}
\text{If }x = \left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right),\text{ what is the value of }\\\left(\sqrt{x} - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right)?
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} \sqrt{13} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \sqrt{14} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \sqrt{15} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \sqrt{16} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{align}&\left(\sqrt{x} - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right)^2\\\\
&= x - 2 + \dfrac{1}{x}\\\\
&= x + \dfrac{1}{x} - 2 \\\\
&= \left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right) + \dfrac{1}{\left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right)} - 2 \\\\
&= \left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right) + \dfrac{\left(8 - 3\sqrt{7}\right)}{\left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right)\left(8 - 3\sqrt{7}\right)} - 2 \\\\
&= \left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right) + \dfrac{\left(8 - 3\sqrt{7}\right)}{8^2 - \left(3\sqrt{7}\right)^2} - 2 \\\\
&= \left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right) + \dfrac{\left(8 - 3\sqrt{7}\right)}{64 - 63} - 2 \\\\
&= \left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right) + \dfrac{\left(8 - 3\sqrt{7}\right)}{1} - 2 \\\\
&= 8 + 3\sqrt{7} + 8 - 3\sqrt{7} - 2 \\\\
&= 14 \\\\
&\text{as }\left(\sqrt{x} - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right)^2 = 14\\\\
&\text{so ,}\left(\sqrt{x} - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right) = \sqrt{14}\end{align}

2. Value of \begin{aligned} (256)^{\frac{5}{4}} \end{aligned}

1012
1024
1048
525

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= (256)^{\frac{5}{4}} = (4^4)^{\frac{5}{4}} = 4^5 = 1024
\end{aligned}

3. \begin{aligned} (1000)^7 \div (10)^{18} = ? \end{aligned}

10
100
1000
10000

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{(10^3)^7}{(10)^{18}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{(10)^{21}}{(10)^{18}} = 10^3 = 1000
\end{aligned}

4. \begin{aligned}
\text{If }2x = \sqrt[3]{32}, \text{ then x is equal to}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} \frac{5}{2} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{2}{5} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{3}{5} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{5}{3} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= (32)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\
= (2^5)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\
= 2^{\frac{5}{3}}\\
=> x= \frac{5}{3}
\end{aligned}

5. \begin{aligned}
\left(25 \right)^{7.5} \times \left(5 \right)^{2.5} \div \left(125 \right)^{1.5} = 5^?
\end{aligned}

9.7
11.5
12
13

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Lets assume,
\begin{aligned}
\left(25 \right)^{7.5} \times \left(5 \right)^{2.5} \div \left(125 \right)^{1.5} = 5^x \\
\text{then, } \frac{ \left( 5^2 \right)^{7.5} \times \left(5 \right)^{2.5} }{\left(5^3 \right)^{1.5} } = 5^x \\
=> \text{then, } \frac{ \left( 5^{15} \right) \times \left(5^{2.5} \right) }{\left(5^{4.5} \right) } = 5^x \\

=> 5^x = 5^{15 + 2.5 - 4.5} \\
=> 5^x = 5^{13} \\
\text{Hence, } x = 13
\end{aligned}
