Power 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38
Number 1 3 9 27 81 243 729 2187 6561

(3)(a)

(i ) 23  22  25 (ii) 24  23  27
(iii ) 22  25  27 (iv) 21  27  28
(v)24  25  29

(b) Add the indices to get the index of the answer.

(c)

(d) The rule works for powers of any positive integer.

4(a) 62  63  6(2 3)  65 (b)64  6  6(41)  65

(c)65  62  6(5 2)  67 (c)63  63  6(3 3)  66

5(a)103  102  103 2  105 (b)205  20  2051  206

(c)153  153  1533  156 (d )55  53  553  58
6(a) 38  6561
39  38  3  6561 3  19683
(b) 56  15 625
57  56  5  15625  5  78125

7(a) 33  32  35 (b)93  96  99
(c)124  122  126 (c)157  153  1510

8 The first part is correct because 42  16  2  2  2  2  24 .

The second part is not correct because 43  4  4  4  64 but 34  3  3  3  3  81 .

9(a) 109 (b)1012

10(a)22  23  2  2231  26 (b)33  34  32  33 4 2  39

(c)5  53  53  51 3 3  57 (d )103  102  104  103 2 4  109

11(a) 36

11(b)(i) 26 (ii)56 (iii) 46

(iv)158 (v)1012

(c)(i) N 6 (ii) N 8 (iii) N 15

(d) To find a power of a power you multiply the indices ( N a )b  N ab .

12(a)(i) 26  22  24 (ii)34  31  33 (iii)29  24  25

(iv)36  32  34 (v)32  32  30

(c)When you divide powers you subtract the indices.
