Question
I need the answer for A , B and C
Explanation / Answer
Dear Student Thank you for using Chegg !! a) Student 1: 2^2 X 2^3 = 2^5 Student 2: 2^2 X 2^3 = 4^5 Solution Solution given by student 1 is correct because as per property of exponents in case of multiplication of two exponential terms with common base The exponents of two terms are added while retaining the base as it is i.e. x^m X x^n = x ^ (m + n) Sicne student 2 has modified the base also therefre student 2 solution is false and incorrect. b) Student 1: (2^3)^4 = 2^7 Student 2: (2^3)^4 = 2^12 Student 3: (2^3)^4 = 2^81 Solution Solution given by student 2 is correct because as per property of exponents in case of multiplication of two exponential i.e. (x^m)^n = x ^ (m * n) c) Student 1: 3^1/2 = 3^-2 Student 2: 3^1/2 = 1/3^2 Student 3: 3^1/2=sqrt(3) Solution Solution given by student 3 is absolutely correct. Student 1 solution is incorrct because two real numbers such as 1/2 and -2 can never be equal Student 2 is also incorrect for the similar reason as stated for student 1. Two real numbers can never be equal. Student 3 is correct because if we square the two sides of equation then LHS = 3^1/2 RHS => on squaring sqrt(3) (3^1/2)^2 On squaring 3 3 Hence Proved
