Statement Sums Involving Exponent and Power

To solve statement sums involving exponents and powers. First, frame the equation using the given values in the questions and then solve using BODMAS ( Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction)

Illustration 1: By what number should left (frac{-3}{2}right )^-^3 be divided so that the quotient is left(frac{9}{4}right)^-^2?

Solution: Let the number by which we should divide left (frac{-3}{2}right )^-^3 be x . So, we have

frac{left(frac{-3}{2}right)^-^3}{x}=left (frac{9}{4}right)^-^2

After cross multiplication, we have

left(frac{-2}{3}right)^3 =left(frac{4}{9}right)^2;;times;;x                                        left [ because a^{-m}=frac{1}{a^{m}} right ] ;and; left [left ( frac{a}{b} right )^{-1}=frac{b}{a} right ]

frac{-8}{27} =frac{16}{81};;times;;x

x = frac{-8}{27}timesfrac{81}{16}

x=frac{-3}{2}
