Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Simplify question 7 part i).

    The expression is 28x11÷7x928x^{11} \div 7x^9.
    To simplify, divide the coefficients and use the exponent rule am÷an=am−na^m \div a^n = a^{m-n} for the variables.

    28x117x9=(287)×(x11x9)\frac{28x^{11}}{7x^9} = \left(\frac{28}{7}\right) \times \left(\frac{x^{11}}{x^9}\right) =4×x(11−9)= 4 \times x^{(11-9)} =4x2= 4x^2

    The simplified expression is 4x2\boxed{4x^2}.

  2. Simplify question 7 part ii).

    The expression is 25m12÷5m725m^{12} \div 5m^7.
    To simplify, divide the coefficients and use the exponent rule am÷an=am−na^m \div a^n = a^{m-n} for the variables.

    25m125m7=(255)×(m12m7)\frac{25m^{12}}{5m^7} = \left(\frac{25}{5}\right) \times \left(\frac{m^{12}}{m^7}\right) =5×m(12−7)= 5 \times m^{(12-7)} =5m5= 5m^5

    The simplified expression is 5m5\boxed{5m^5}.

  3. Evaluate question 8 using logarithms.

    Let P=269.1×89.3341.72P = \sqrt{\frac{269.1 \times 89.33}{41.72}}.
    This can be written as P=(269.1×89.3341.72)12P = \left(\frac{269.1 \times 89.33}{41.72}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}.
    Take the logarithm (base 10) of both sides:

    log⁡P=log⁡[(269.1×89.3341.72)12]\log P = \log \left[\left(\frac{269.1 \times 89.33}{41.72}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\right]

    Using the logarithm property log⁡(ab)=blog⁡a\log(a^b) = b \log a:

    log⁡P=12log⁡(269.1×89.3341.72)\log P = \frac{1}{2} \log \left(\frac{269.1 \times 89.33}{41.72}\right)

    Using the logarithm properties log⁡(ab)=log⁡a−log⁡b\log(\frac{a}{b}) = \log a - \log b and log⁡(ab)=log⁡a+log⁡b\log(ab) = \log a + \log b:

    log⁡P=12[log⁡(269.1)+log⁡(89.33)−log⁡(41.72)]\log P = \frac{1}{2} [\log(269.1) + \log(89.33) - \log(41.72)]

    Now, find the logarithms of each number:

    log⁡(269.1)≈2.4300\log(269.1) \approx 2.4300 log⁡(89.33)≈1.9519\log(89.33) \approx 1.9519 log⁡(41.72)≈1.6203\log(41.72) \approx 1.6203

    Substitute these values into the equation for log⁡P\log P:

    log⁡P=12[2.4300+1.9519−1.6203]\log P = \frac{1}{2} [2.4300 + 1.9519 - 1.6203] log⁡P=12[4.3819−1.6203]\log P = \frac{1}{2} [4.3819 - 1.6203] log⁡P=12[2.7616]\log P = \frac{1}{2} [2.7616] log⁡P=1.3808\log P = 1.3808

    Finally, find the antilog of 1.3808 to get PP:

    P=101.3808P = 10^{1.3808} P≈24.03P \approx 24.03

    The value of the expression is 24.03\boxed{24.03}.
