Solution:

Exponent Questions For Class 8 Question 7.
Find the value of k if (-2)^k+1 × (-2)³ = (-2)⁷
Solution:
(-2)^k+1 × (-2)³ = (-2)⁷
⇒ (-2)^k+1+3 = (-2)⁷
⇒ (-2)^k+4 = (-2)⁷
⇒ k + 4 = 7
⇒ k = 3
Hence, k = 3.

Solution:

Class 8 Maths Exponents And Powers Extra Questions Question 12.

Solution:

Question 13.
Find the value of x if

Solution:

⇒ 3 + x = 18 [Equating the powers of same base]
x = 18 – 3 = 15

Question 14.
Solve the following: (81)^-4 ÷ (729)^2-x = 9^4x
Solution:

Question 15.

Solution:

Question 16.

Solution:

Question 17.
Find x so that (-5)^x+1 × (-5)⁵ = (-5)⁷ (NCERT Exemplar)
Solution:
(-5)^x+1 × (-5)⁵ = (-5)⁷
(-5)^x+1+5 = (-5)⁷ {a^m × aⁿ = a^m+n}
(-5)^x+6 = (-5)⁷
On both sides, powers have the same base, so their exponents must be equal.
Therefore, x + 6 = 7
x = 7 – 6 = 1
x = 1.
