Questions : $(3 + 1/√3 + 1/{3 + √3} + 1/{√3 - 3})$ is equal to

(a) $3 + √3$

(b) 1

(c) $3 - √3$

(d) 3

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (d)

Expression

= $3+1/√3+1/{3+√3}+1/{√3-3}$

= $3+1/√3+1/{3+√3}-1/{√3-3}$

= $3+1/√3+({3-√3-3-√3}/{(3+√3)(3-√3)})$

= $3+1/√3+{-2√3}/{9-3} = 3+1/√3 -√3/3$

= $3+1/√3-1/√3 = 3$

Question : 1

The value of $√{2}^4 + √^3{64} + √^4{2^8}$ is :

a) 18

b) 12

c) 24

d) 16

Answer: (b)

? = $√{2}^4 + √^3{64} + √^4{2^8}$

= $2^{4×1/2} + 4^{3×1/3} + 2^{8×1/4}$

= $2^2 + 4 + 2^2$

= 4 + 4 + 4 = 12

Question : 2

$8^{2/3}$ is equal to :

a) 4

b) 5$1/2$

c) 3$1/3$

d) 21$1/3$

Answer: (a)

$8^{2/3} = (2^3)^{2/3}$

= $2^{3×2/3} = 2^2 = 4$

Question : 3

$(0.04)^{ - (1.5)}$ is equal to

a) 60

b) 25

c) 5

d) 125

Answer: (d)

Expression = $(0.04)^{ - 1.5}$

= $1/(0.04)^{1.5} = 1/(0.04)^{3/2}$

= $1/(0.04 × 0.04 × 0.04)^{1/2}$

= $1/√{0.0000064}$

= $1/{0.008} = 1000/8 = 125$

Question : 4

The simplified form of $2/{√7 + √5} + 7/{√{12} - √5} - 5/{√{12} - √7}$ is :

a) 1

b) 5

c) 0

d) 2

Answer: (c)

$2/{√7 + √5} + 7/{√{12} - √5} - 5/{√{12} - √7}$

First term = $2/{√7 + √5}$

= ${2 ×(√7 - √5)}/{(√7 + √5)(√7 - √5)}$

= ${2(√7 - √5)}/{7-5} = √7 -√5$

Second term = $7/{√{12} - √5}$

= ${7(√{12}+√5)}/{(√{12}-√{5})(√{12}+√5)}$

=${7(√{12}+√5)}/{12-5}$

= ${7(√{12} +√{5})}/{7} = √{12}+√5$

Third term = $5/{√{12}-√7}$

= ${5(√{12}+√7)}/{(√{12}-√7)(√{12}+√7)}$

= ${5(√{12}+√7)}/{12- 7} = √{12} +√7$

Expression

= $(√7 - √5) + (√{12} +√5) - (√{12}+√7)$

= $√7 -√5 +√{12} +√5 - √{12} -√7 = 0$

Question : 5

The simplified form of $(16^{3/2} + 16^{-3/2})$ is :

a) 1

b) 0

c) $16/4097$

d) $4097/64$

Answer: (d)

$(16^{3/2} + 16^{-3/2})$

= $(4^2)^{3/2} + 1/(16)^{3/2}$

= $4^{2×3/2} + 1/4^{2×3/2} = 4^3 + 1/4^3$

= $64 + 1/64 = {4096 + 1}/64 = 4097/64$

Question : 6

The value of $(256)^{0.16} × (16)^{0.18}$ is :

a) 16

b) 4

c) 256

d) - 4

Answer: (b)

Expression

= $(256)^{0.16} × (16)^{0.18}$

= $(4)^{4×0.16} × (4)^{2×0.18}$

= $(4)^{0.64} × (4)^{0.36}$

= $(4)^{0.64+0.36} = (4)^1$ = 4
