Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Grade 7 Mathematics Worksheet: Exponents, Roots and Operations
It looks like you've uploaded a Grade 7 Mathematics Worksheet titled *"Exponents, Roots and Operations"*, but the image has a "SAMPLE" watermark, and some parts of the questions are obscured or cut off. However, I can still help you solve the visible problems based on what's readable.

Let’s go through each question step by step, solving and explaining:

---

Question 1.1: Which answer represents the following: $10^5 = $____



We know that:
$$
10^5 = 10 \times 10 \times 10 \times 10 \times 10 = 100,000
$$

So the correct answer is:
a) 100 000

> Answer: a)

---

Question 1.2: Write the following as an exponent: $3 \times 3 \times 3$



This is three 3s multiplied together → that’s $3^3$, not $3^5$.

But the options are:
- a) $3 \times 5$
- b) $3^5$
- c) 243

Wait — $3 \times 3 \times 3 = 27$, which is $3^3$. But $3^5 = 243$, and option c is 243.

But the question says “write the following as an exponent” — so we should write it in exponential form.

But none of the options say $3^3$. Let's check again.

Possibility: Maybe the expression was meant to be $3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3$? Then it would be $3^5 = 243$

But as written: $3 \times 3 \times 3$ → only three 3s → $3^3 = 27$

But since option b is $3^5$ and c is 243, and 243 = 3^5, maybe the original problem had five 3s?

Assuming there’s a typo or misalignment in the image, and if the intended expression was $3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3$, then:

Answer: b) $3^5$

But if it's only three 3s, then none of the options correctly express it as an exponent.

However, since option c is 243, which equals $3^5$, and b is $3^5$, likely the expression was meant to be five 3s.

So assuming the full expression is $3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3$, then:
> Answer: b) $3^5$

---

Question 1.3: Calculate the answer: $2^3 + 3^2 \times 4^1 =$



Step-by-step:

- $2^3 = 8$
- $3^2 = 9$
- $4^1 = 4$

Now compute:
$$
8 + (9 \times 4) = 8 + 36 = 44
$$

Answer: a) 44

---

Question 1.4: What is the opposite or inverse operation for the following: $\sqrt[3]{8} = $



The cube root of 8 is 2, because $2^3 = 8$

So $\sqrt[3]{8} = 2$

The inverse operation of a cube root is cubing.

So the inverse of $\sqrt[3]{8}$ is $2^3 = 8$

Looking at options:

a) $2^3 = 8$ → This is the inverse operation: cubing
b) $2 \times 2 \times 2$ → same as $2^3$, but written out
c) ? (cut off)
d) $2 \times 8$

But a) explicitly shows the inverse operation: $2^3 = 8$

Answer: a) $2^3 = 8$

---

Question 1.5: Calculate the answer: $\sqrt{64} - \sqrt[3]{125} \div 5 =$



Step-by-step:

- $\sqrt{64} = 8$
- $\sqrt[3]{125} = 5$, because $5^3 = 125$
- So: $8 - (5 \div 5) = 8 - 1 = 7$

Answer: a) 7

---

Question 1.6: What is the product of the 4th cube number and the 3rd square number?



First, recall:
- Cube numbers: $1^3=1$, $2^3=8$, $3^3=27$, $4^3=64$ → so 4th cube number = 64
- Square numbers: $1^2=1$, $2^2=4$, $3^2=9$ → so 3rd square number = 9

Now: $64 \times 9 = 576$

Answer: d) 576

---

Question 1.7: Select the incorrect answer: $\sqrt{25} = $



We know:
- $\sqrt{25} = 5$

Now check options:

a) $\sqrt{25}$ → this is the expression, not a value
b) $\sqrt{16} + \sqrt{9} = 4 + 3 = 7$ → this is not equal to 5
c) 5 → correct

So b) is incorrect because $\sqrt{16} + \sqrt{9} = 7 \neq 5$

Answer: b)

---

Question 1.8: A number is both a cube and a square root of 625. What is the number?



Let’s break it down.

- The square root of 625 is $\sqrt{625} = 25$, because $25^2 = 625$
- So the number must be 25

Now, is 25 a cube number? No, $2^3=8$, $3^3=27$, so 25 is not a cube.

Wait — maybe the question means: "A number is both a perfect cube and the square root of 625"

Then:
- $\sqrt{625} = 25$
- Is 25 a perfect cube? No.

Alternatively, perhaps it's asking: “A number is both a perfect cube and a perfect square”, and also the square root of 625?

But that doesn’t make sense.

Wait — re-read: "A number is both a cube and a square root of 625."

So: the number is:
- A cube number (i.e., $n^3$)
- And also equal to $\sqrt{625} = 25$

So the number is 25, but is 25 a cube? No.

But look at options:

a) $5^3 = 125$
b) $\sqrt{25} = 5$
c) 25
d) 50

Wait — perhaps the question is: “A number is both a perfect cube and a perfect square,” and its square is 625?

But the wording says: “a number is both a cube and a square root of 625”

So: the number = $\sqrt{625} = 25$, and it must also be a cube number.

But 25 is not a cube.

Wait — unless we misread.

Alternative interpretation: “A number is both a cube and the square root of 625.”

So: let $x$ be such that:
- $x = \sqrt{625} = 25$
- and $x = y^3$ for some integer $y$

But no integer cube is 25.

But wait — maybe the number whose square is 625 is 25, and we’re looking for a number that is both a cube and equals 25? Still no.

Wait — maybe the number is 25, and it's both a square and a cube? But 25 is not a cube.

But 625 is $25^2$, and also $5^4$, and $5^4 = (5^2)^2 = 25^2$, but not a cube.

Wait — perhaps the number is 5, because:
- $5^2 = 25$
- $5^3 = 125$

No.

Wait — maybe the question is: “A number is both a perfect cube and a perfect square”, and its square is 625?

Then: $x^2 = 625$ → $x = 25$, and 25 must be a cube → no.

Alternatively: “A number is both a cube and the square root of 625” → so the number is 25, and it's a cube → not possible.

But look at option a): $5^3 = 125$ → not related.

Option b): $\sqrt{25} = 5$ → not helpful.

Wait — perhaps the number is 25, and the question is poorly worded.

But let's think: is there a number that is both a cube and whose square is 625?

Let $x^2 = 625$ → $x = 25$ or $-25$

Is 25 a cube? No.

But $5^3 = 125$, $2^3 = 8$, etc.

Wait — perhaps the number is 25, and it's a square, and we're being told it's also a cube? That’s false.

But the options include:
a) $5^3 = 125$
b) $\sqrt{25} = 5$
c) 25
d) 50

Wait — could it be that the number is 25, and it's the square root of 625, and the question is just asking what the number is?

And “a number is both a cube and a square root of 625” — but 25 is not a cube.

Unless the number is 5, because:
- $5^2 = 25$
- $5^3 = 125$

No.

Wait — perhaps the number is 5, and:
- $5^2 = 25$, and $25^2 = 625$ → so $5^4 = 625$
- But 5 is not a cube.

Wait — maybe the number is 25, and it's the square root of 625, and it's also a cube? But 25 is not a cube.

I think there may be a typo.

Wait — perhaps the question is: “A number is both a perfect square and a perfect cube”, and its square is 625?

Then $x^2 = 625$ → $x = 25$, and 25 must be a cube → no.

Alternatively: “A number is both a cube and a square, and its value is the square root of 625” → same thing.

But none of the options fit.

Wait — perhaps the number is 5, and:
- $5^2 = 25$
- $5^3 = 125$

No.

Wait — maybe the number is 25, and it's the square root of 625, and the question is just asking for that number?

Then answer is c) 25

But the phrase “a number is both a cube and a square root of 625” is confusing.

Perhaps it's a typo, and it should be: “A number is both a square and a cube”, and its square is 625?

Then $x^2 = 625$ → $x = 25$, and 25 must be a cube → no.

Wait — what about 1? $1^2 = 1$, $1^3 = 1$, but $1 \neq \sqrt{625}$

Another idea: maybe the number is 5, and:
- $5^2 = 25$
- $5^3 = 125$
- $25^2 = 625$

So 25 is the square root of 625, and 25 is $5^2$, and 5 is not a cube.

But the number 25 is the square root of 625, and it's not a cube.

So the only logical possibility is that the number is 25, and the “cube” part is a mistake.

Or perhaps the question is: “A number is both a perfect square and a perfect cube, and its square is 625”?

Then $x^2 = 625$ → $x = 25$, and 25 must be a perfect cube → no.

But 625 = $25^2 = (5^2)^2 = 5^4$, and $5^4 = (5^{4/3})^3$, not helpful.

Wait — perhaps the number is 5, and:
- $5^2 = 25$
- $5^3 = 125$
- $25^2 = 625$

So the square root of 625 is 25, and 25 is $5^2$, and 5 is not a cube.

But if the number is 5, and it's a cube? No.

Wait — let’s look at the options:

a) $5^3 = 125$ → 125
b) $\sqrt{25} = 5$ → 5
c) 25
d) 50

If the number is 25, and it's the square root of 625, and the question is asking what it is, then answer is c) 25

And “both a cube” might be a red herring or typo.

But 25 is not a cube.

Alternatively, perhaps the number is 5, and:
- $5^2 = 25$
- $5^3 = 125$
- $25^2 = 625$

So the square root of 625 is 25, and 25 is $5^2$, so 5 is the square root of 25, not directly related.

But the number 25 is the square root of 625, and it's not a cube.

So perhaps the intended answer is c) 25, ignoring the “cube” part as a typo.

Or maybe the number is 5, and it's a cube? No.

Wait — perhaps the number is 1, but 1 ≠ √625.

I think the most plausible explanation is that the question meant: “A number is the square root of 625. What is the number?”

Then answer is 25

Answer: c) 25

(Despite the confusing wording, likely the “cube” part is a mistake.)

Question 1.9: Find the value of $x$: $4^x = 16$



We know:
- $4^x = 16$
- $4 = 2^2$, $16 = 2^4$
- So $ (2^2)^x = 2^{2x} = 2^4 $
- So $2x = 4$ → $x = 2$

But options are:
a) 3
b) 16
c) 8
d) 4

None is 2.

Wait — perhaps it's $4^x = 64$? But it says 16.

Wait — $4^2 = 16$, so $x = 2$, but 2 is not an option.

But wait — maybe the question is: $4^x = 64$?

$4^3 = 64$, so $x = 3$

Then answer is a) 3

But the image says $4^x = 16$

But 16 is $4^2$, so $x = 2$

But 2 is not an option.

Unless the options are misprinted.

Wait — perhaps the equation is $4^x = 64$, then $x = 3$

Or maybe $2^x = 16$ → $x = 4$, then d) 4

But it says $4^x = 16$

Let’s double-check:
- $4^1 = 4$
- $4^2 = 16$

So $x = 2$

But 2 is not among the options.

Options: a) 3, b) 16, c) 8, d) 4

None is 2.

So either:
- There’s a typo in the question
- Or in the options

But if $4^x = 64$, then $x = 3$ → a)

If $4^x = 256$, then $x = 4$ → d)

But as written: $4^x = 16$ → $x = 2$

But 2 not listed.

Alternatively, maybe the question is $2^x = 16$ → $x = 4$ → d)

But it says $4^x = 16$

Given the options, and common mistakes, likely the intended equation was $2^x = 16$, or $4^x = 64$

But based on what's written, no option is correct.

But let’s assume it’s $4^x = 64$, then $x = 3$ → a)

Or $2^x = 16$ → $x = 4$ → d)

But given the options, and typical problems, likely it's $2^x = 16$ → $x = 4$

But the question says $4^x = 16$

Wait — perhaps it’s $4^x = 64$, and the 64 is cut off?

But in the image, it says $4^x = 16$

So unless there’s a typo, none of the options are correct.

But since it's multiple choice, and 2 is not there, maybe it's $4^x = 64$, then $x = 3$

Best guess: a) 3 (assuming typo in question)

But strictly speaking, with $4^x = 16$, $x = 2$, not listed.

So perhaps the question is $4^x = 64$, then $x = 3$ → a)

Answer: a) 3 (assuming typo)

Question 1.10: A square has sides measuring 15 cm. Which one represents the area of the square?



Area of square = side × side = $15 \times 15 = 225\,cm^2$

Now options:

a) $15\,cm^2$ → too small
b) $15\,cm \times 4$ → perimeter, not area
c) $(15)^2\,cm^2$ → yes! $15^2 = 225$
d) $15\,cm + 15\,cm$ → addition, not area

Answer: c) $(15)^2\,cm^2$

---
