NCERT Exemplar Class 8 Maths Chapter 8 Exponents and Powers

Multiple Choice Questions
Question. 1 In 2n, n is known as
(a) base (b) constant
(c) exponent (d) variable
Solution.
(c) We know that an is called the nth power of a; and is also read as a raised to the power n.
The rational number a is called the base and n is called the exponent (power or index). In the same way in 2n,n is known as exponent.

Question. 2 For a fixed base, if the exponent decreases by 1, the number becomes
(a) one-tenth of the previous number
(b) ten times of the previous number
(c) hundredth of the previous number
(d) hundred times of the previous number
Solution.
(a) For a fixed base, if the exponent decreases by 1, the number becomes one-tenth of the previous number.

Question. 114 The number of red blood cells per cubic millimetre of blood is approximately mm3)
Solution. The average body contain 5 L of blood.
Also, the number of red blood cells per cubic millimetre of blood is approximately 5.5 million.
Blood contained by body = 5 L = 5 x 100000 mm3
Red blood cells = 5 x 100000 mm3
Blood = 5.5 x 1000000 x 5 x 100000= 55 x 5 x 105 + 5

Question.125 Planet A is at a distance of 9.35 x 106 km from Earth and planet B is 6.27 x 107 km from Earth. Which planet is nearer to Earth?
Solution.
Distance between planet A and Earth = 9.35 x 106 km Distance between planet B and Earth = 6.27 x 107 km
For finding difference between above two distances, we have to change both in same exponent of 10, i.e. 9.35 x.106 = 0.935 x 107, clearly 6.27 x 107 is greater.
So, planet A is nearer to Earth.

Question. 149 Repeater Machine
Similarly, repeater machine is a hypothetical machine which automatically enlarges items several times, e.g. Sending a piece of wire through a (x 24) machine is the same as putting it through a (x 2) machine four times. ‘
So, if you send a 3 cm piece of wire thorugh a (x 2)4 machine, its length becomes 3 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 48 cm. It can also be written that a base (2) machine is being applied 4 times.
NCERT Exemplar Class 8 Maths Chapter 8 Exponents and Powers img-214
What will be the new length of a 4 cm strip inserted in the machine?
Solution.
According to the question, if we put a 3 cm piece of wire through a (x 24) machine, its length becomes 3 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 48 cm.
Similarly, 4 cm long strip becomes 4 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 64 cm.

Question. 150 For the following repeater machines, how many times the base machine is applied and how much the total stretch is?
NCERT Exemplar Class 8 Maths Chapter 8 Exponents and Powers img-215
Solution.
In machine (a), (x 100 2) = 10000stretch. Since, it is two times the base machine.
In machine (b), (x 7 5) = 16807 stretch.
Since, it is fair times the base machine.
In machine (c), (x 57) = 78125stretch.
Since, it is 7 times the base machine.
