\begin{aligned} \sqrt{8}^\frac{1}{3} \end{aligned}

2
4
\begin{aligned} \sqrt{2} \end{aligned}
8

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= ((8)^\frac{1}{2})^\frac{1}{3} = 8^{(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3})}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= (8)^{\frac{1}{6}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= (2)^{3(\frac{1}{6})}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= (2)^{\frac{1}{2}}
\end{aligned}

1. \begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{1+a^{(n-m)}} + \frac{1}{1+a^{(m-n)}} = ?
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{1}{\left( 1 + \frac{a^n}{a^m} \right)} +
\frac{1}{\left( 1 + \frac{a^m}{a^n} \right)} \\
= \frac{a^m}{(a^m+a^n)} + \frac{a^n}{(a^m+a^n)} \\
= \frac{(a^m+a^n)}{(a^m+a^n)} = 1
\end{aligned}

2. \begin{aligned}
\text{If } 3^{x-y} = 27 \text{ and } 3^{x+y} = 243, \\
\text{ then find the value of x }
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}3^{x-y} = 27 = 3^3 <=> x-y = 3 \text{... (i)}\\
3^{x+y} = 243 = 3^5 <=> x+y = 5 \text{... (ii)} \\

\text{ adding (i) and (ii)}
=> 2x = 8 \\
=> x = 4
\end{aligned}

3. Evaluate \begin{aligned} 256^{0.16} \times (256)^{0.09} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= 256^{0.16+0.09} = 256^{0.25} = 256^{\frac{25}{100}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= 256^{\frac{1}{4}}= (4^4)^{\frac{1}{4}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=(4)^{4 \times \frac{1}{4}} = 4
\end{aligned}

4. If m and n are whole numbers such that
\begin{aligned} m^n=121 \end{aligned}
, the value of \begin{aligned} (m-1)^{n + 1} \end{aligned} is

1
10
100
1000

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We know that \begin{aligned} (11)^2 = 121
\end{aligned}
So, putting values in said equation we get,
\begin{aligned} (11-1)^{2 + 1} = (10)^3 = 1000 \end{aligned}

5. \begin{aligned}
\text{If }x = \left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right),\text{ what is the value of }\\\left(\sqrt{x} - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right)?
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} \sqrt{13} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \sqrt{14} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \sqrt{15} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \sqrt{16} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{align}&\left(\sqrt{x} - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right)^2\\\\
&= x - 2 + \dfrac{1}{x}\\\\
&= x + \dfrac{1}{x} - 2 \\\\
&= \left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right) + \dfrac{1}{\left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right)} - 2 \\\\
&= \left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right) + \dfrac{\left(8 - 3\sqrt{7}\right)}{\left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right)\left(8 - 3\sqrt{7}\right)} - 2 \\\\
&= \left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right) + \dfrac{\left(8 - 3\sqrt{7}\right)}{8^2 - \left(3\sqrt{7}\right)^2} - 2 \\\\
&= \left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right) + \dfrac{\left(8 - 3\sqrt{7}\right)}{64 - 63} - 2 \\\\
&= \left(8 + 3\sqrt{7}\right) + \dfrac{\left(8 - 3\sqrt{7}\right)}{1} - 2 \\\\
&= 8 + 3\sqrt{7} + 8 - 3\sqrt{7} - 2 \\\\
&= 14 \\\\
&\text{as }\left(\sqrt{x} - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right)^2 = 14\\\\
&\text{so ,}\left(\sqrt{x} - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right) = \sqrt{14}\end{align}
