Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Simplify each of the following, without using a calculator:

i) $x^{\var{num21[0]}}.x^{\var{num21[1]}}$

x^{Gap 0.}

ii) $\frac{x^{\var{num21[2]}}.x^{-\var{num21[3]}}}{x^{\var{num22}}}$

x^{Gap 1.}

iii) $\frac{a^{-\var{num23[0]}}.b^{\var{num23[1]}}.c^{\var{num23[2]}}}{a^{\var{num23[3]}}.b^{-\var{num23[4]}}.c^{-\var{num23[5]}}}$

(a^{Gap 2.}).(b^{Gap 3.}).(c^{Gap 4.})

iv) $(\var{num24a}x^{\var{num24b}}y^{\var{num24c}})^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Gap 5.(x^{Gap 6.})(y^{Gap 7.})

v) $(\var{num25a}a^{-\var{num25[0]}}b^{\var{num25[1]}}c)^\var{num25[2]}$

Gap 8.(a^{Gap 9.})(b^{Gap 10.})(c^{Gap 11.})

vi) $\frac{2^{\var{num26a[0]}}.27^{\var{num26a[1]}}.7^{\var{num26a[2]}}}{4^{\var{num26b[0]}}.8^{\var{num26b[1]}}.3^{\var{num26b[2]}}.49^{\var{num26b[3]}}}$

(2^{Gap 12.}).(3^{Gap 13.}).(7^{Gap 14.})

Advice

Using most of the rules above, the following are examples of the questions in part 2 of the question.

$x^3.x^5 = x^8$ (Add the powers)

$\frac{x^{4}.x^{-2}}{x^{13}} = x^{-11}$ (Add the powers above the line and subtract the powers below the line)

$\frac{a^{-2}.b^{3}.c^{4}}{a^{5}.b^{-6}.c^{-4}} = a^{-7}.b^{9}.c^{8}$ (Add the powers, of the same letters, above the line and subtract the powers, of the same letters, below the line)

$(27x^{3}y^{-6})^{\frac{1}{3}} = 3xy^{-2}$ (Use the sixth rule above)

$3a^{-2}b^{3}c)^2 = 9a^{-4}b^{6}c^2$ (Use the sixth rule above)

$\frac{2^{5}.9^{2}.7^{5}}{4^{2}.8^{3}.3^{5}.49^{2}} = 2^{-8}.3^{1}.7^{1}$ (Use the first, second and third rules above)

Give a worked solution to the whole question.
