Find the quotient when (a^-1 - 1) is divided by (a - 1).

Correct Answer: 1

Explanation:

( 9ⁿ x 3² x (3^-n/2)^-2 - (27)ⁿ ) / ( 3^3m x 2³ ) = 1/27
? ( 3²ⁿ x 3² x 3ⁿ - 3³ⁿ) / ( 3^3m x 2³ ) = 1/27
? ( 3^{2n + n} x 3² - 3³ⁿ) / ( 3^3m x 2³ )= 1/27
? ( 3³ⁿ x 3² - 3³ⁿ) / ( 3^3m x 2³ ) = 1/27
? 3³ⁿ( 3² - 1) / ( 3^3m x 8 ) = 1/27
? 3³ⁿ( 9 - 1) / (3^3m x 8 ) = 1/27
? ( 3³ⁿ x 8 ) / (3^3m x 8 ) = 1/27
? 3³ⁿ / 3^3m = 1/27
? 3^{3n - 3m} = 1/3³
? 3^{3( n - m )} = 3^-3
3(n - m) = -3
or n - m = -1
or m - n = 1

Correct Answer: 14

Explanation:

You can square the both the equation and add them to find the answer.

x² + y² = ( (?3 + 1 ) / ( ?3 - 1 ) )² + ( (?3 - 1 ) / (?3 + 1) )²
x² + y² = ( ?3 + 1 )² / ( ?3 - 1 ) ² + (?3 - 1 )² / (?3 + 1) ²
x² + y² = ( ( 3 + 1 + 2 ?3 ) / ( 3 + 1 - 2 ?3 ) ) + ( ( 3 + 1 - 2?3) / ( 3 + 1 + 2 ?3 ) )
x² + y² = ( 4 + 2 ?3 ) / ( 4 - 2 ?3 ) + ( 4 - 2?3 ) / ( 4 + 2 ?3 )
x² + y² = ( 2 + ?3 ) / ( 2 - ?3 ) + ( 2 - ?3 ) / ( 2 + ?3 )
x² + y² = (4 + 3 + 4 ?3 + 4 + 3 - 4 ?3) / ( 4 - 3 )
x² + y² = 14

Correct Answer: 2

Explanation:

Here, Let us Assume ,
p = ?56 + ?56 + ?56 + ...........
? p = ?56 + p
Square on both side and solve the above equation.
? p²= 56 + p
? p² - p= 56
? p(p - 1 ) = 56
? p(p - 1 ) = 8 x 7
? Either p = 8 or p - 1 = 7
? So p = 8;
Now given equation in question is
?56 + ?56 + ?56 + .... ) ÷ 2² = ?
? p ÷ 2² = ?
Put the value of p
? 8 ÷ 2² = ?
? 8 ÷ 4 = ?
? ? = 2;

Correct Answer: 3n + 10

Explanation:

Given that 16 x 8^{n + 2} = 2^m

Apply the law of Fractional Exponents and Laws of Exponents
if a multiply three times a x a x a then
a x a x a = a³
if a multiply two times a x a then
a x a = a²
if a multiply n times a x a x a x....up to n times, then
a x a x a x a ......up to n times = aⁿ
? (2)⁴ x 2^{3 x (n+2)} = 2^m
? (2)⁴ x 2³ⁿ⁺⁶ = 2^m
a^maⁿ = a^m+n
? (2)^{(4 + 3n + 6)} = 2^m
? (2)^{(3n + 10)} = 2^m
if p^X = p^Y then X will be equal to Y. means X = Y;
On comparing, we get
3n + 10 = m
? m = 3n + 10;

Correct Answer: a

Explanation:

Given, xyz = 1, a^x = b, b^y = c
Now, b = a^x
Apply the law of algebra .
Take the power y of both side equation.
? b^y= a^xy
Take the power z of both side equation.
? b^yz = a^xyz
? ( b^y )^z = a^xyz
Replace the b^y with c and xyz with 1 as per given equation,
? c^z = a

Correct Answer: 1 ?x

Explanation:

Correct Answer: 6.6

Explanation:

17^3.5 x 17^7.3 ÷ 17^4.2 = 17^?
Apply the Laws of Exponents ::
(a^m) x (aⁿ) = a^m+n
Fractional Exponents ::
a^m÷ a ⁿ=a^m?n
? 17^{3.5 + 7.3 - 4.2} = 17^?
? 17^6.6 = 17^?
? ? = 6.6
