= 33n × 32 – 33n/ (315 × 23) = (1/27)
= 33n × (32 – 1)/ (315 × 23) = (1/27)
= 33n × (9 – 1)/ (315 × 23) = (1/27)
= 33n × (8)/ (315 × 23) = (1/27)
= 33n × 23/ (315 × 23) = (1/27)
= 33n/315 = (1/27)
= 33n-15 = (1/27)
= 33n-15 = (1/33)
= 33n-15 = 3-3
On equating the coefficients, we get

3n -15 = -3

⇒ 3n = -3 + 15

⇒ 3n = 12

⇒ n = 12/3 = 4

(iv) Given846 × 107
846 × 107 = 8.46 x 102 x 10 [since the decimal point is moved 2 places to the left]
= 8.46 x 109 [since am x an = am+n]
(v) Given 723 × 109   
723 × 109 = 7.23 x 102 x 109 [since the decimal point is moved 2 places to the left]
= 7.23 x 1011 [ since am x an = am+n]
2. Write the following numbers in the usual form:
(i) 4.83 × 107
(ii) 3.21 × 105
(iii) 3.5 × 103
Solution:
(i) Given 4.83 × 107 
4.83 × 107 = 483 × 107-2 [since the decimal point is moved two places to the right]
= 483 × 105 
= 4, 83, 00,000
(ii) Given 3.21 × 10
3.21 × 10= 321 x 105-2 [since the decimal point is moved two places to the right]
= 321 x 103 
= 3, 21,000
(iii) Given 3.5 × 103 
3.5 × 103 = 35 x 103-1 [since the decimal point is moved one place to the right]
= 35 x 102 
= 3,500
3. Express the numbers appearing in the following statements in the standard form:
(i) The distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384,000,000 meters.
(ii) Diameter of the Earth is 1, 27, 56,000 meters.
(iii) Diameter of the Sun is 1,400,000,000 meters.
(iv) The universe is estimated to be about 12,000,000,000 years old.
Solution:
(i) Given the distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384,000,000 meters.
The distance between the Earth and the Moon is 3.84 x 108 meters.

[Since the decimal point is moved 8 places to the left.]
(ii) Given diameter of the Earth is 1, 27, 56,000 meters.

The diameter of the Earth is 1.2756 x 107 meters.

[Since the decimal point is moved 7 places to the left.]
(iii) Given diameter of the Sun is 1,400,000,000 meters.

The diameter of the Sun is 1.4 x 109 meters.

[Since the decimal point is moved 9 places to the left.]
(iv) Given the universe is estimated to be about 12,000,000,000 years old.
The universe is estimated to be about 1.2x 1010 years old.

[Since the decimal point is moved 10 places to the left.]
