Math worksheet with exponent problems and standard form conversions.

Problem 1: Fill in the blanks

#### (a) $\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right) \times \left(\frac{-2}{3}\right) \times \left(\frac{-2}{3}\right) \times \left(\frac{-2}{3}\right) = \left[ \dots \dots \dots \dots \right]^4$

This expression can be rewritten as:
\[
\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)^4
\]
So, the blank is filled with:
\[
\boxed{\frac{-2}{3}}
\]

#### (b) $(-3)^3 \times (-3)^4 = \dots \dots \dots \dots$

Using the property of exponents $a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$, we have:
\[
(-3)^3 \times (-3)^4 = (-3)^{3+4} = (-3)^7
\]
So, the answer is:
\[
\boxed{(-3)^7}
\]

Problem 2: Evaluate

#### (a) Find the value of $x$:
\[
\left(\frac{-7}{5}\right)^{11} + \left(\frac{-7}{5}\right)^3 = \left(\frac{-7}{5}\right)^{2x+2}
\]

Let $y = \left(\frac{-7}{5}\right)$. Then the equation becomes:
\[
y^{11} + y^3 = y^{2x+2}
\]
Since $y \neq 0$, we can factor out $y^3$ from the left side:
\[
y^3(y^8 + 1) = y^{2x+2}
\]
Dividing both sides by $y^3$ (assuming $y \neq 0$):
\[
y^8 + 1 = y^{2x-1}
\]
For the equation to hold, the exponents must be equal because the bases are the same and the terms are not zero. Therefore:
\[
8 = 2x - 1
\]
Solving for $x$:
\[
2x = 9 \implies x = \frac{9}{2}
\]
So, the value of $x$ is:
\[
\boxed{\frac{9}{2}}
\]

#### (b) Find the value of $a$:
\[
\left[\left(\frac{3}{13}\right)^8\right]^3 = \left(\frac{3}{13}\right)^{a+1}
\]

Using the property of exponents $(a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}$, we have:
\[
\left[\left(\frac{3}{13}\right)^8\right]^3 = \left(\frac{3}{13}\right)^{8 \cdot 3} = \left(\frac{3}{13}\right)^{24}
\]
So the equation becomes:
\[
\left(\frac{3}{13}\right)^{24} = \left(\frac{3}{13}\right)^{a+1}
\]
Since the bases are the same, the exponents must be equal:
\[
24 = a + 1
\]
Solving for $a$:
\[
a = 23
\]
So, the value of $a$ is:
\[
\boxed{23}
\]

Problem 3: Match of column

We need to match the expressions in Column 'A' with the correct expressions in Column 'B'.

#### (a) $x^m \times x^n$
Using the property of exponents $a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$, we have:
\[
x^m \times x^n = x^{m+n}
\]
So, this matches with (v) $x^{m+n}$.

#### (b) $x^m \div x^n$
Using the property of exponents $a^m \div a^n = a^{m-n}$, we have:
\[
x^m \div x^n = x^{m-n} \quad (m > n)
\]
So, this matches with (iv) $x^{m-n} \, (m > n)$.

#### (c) $(x^n)^m$
Using the property of exponents $(a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}$, we have:
\[
(x^n)^m = x^{nm}
\]
So, this matches with (i) $x^{nm}$.

#### (d) $x^n \times y^n$
Using the property of exponents $a^n \times b^n = (ab)^n$, we have:
\[
x^n \times y^n = (xy)^n
\]
So, this matches with (iii) $(xy)^n$.

#### (e) $x^0$
Using the property of exponents $a^0 = 1$, we have:
\[
x^0 = 1
\]
So, this matches with (ii) $1$.

The matches are:
\[
\boxed{(a) \to (v), (b) \to (iv), (c) \to (i), (d) \to (iii), (e) \to (ii)}
\]

Problem 4: Write in the standard form

#### (a) The distance between Earth and Moon is 384,000 km.
To write this in standard form, we express it as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10:
\[
384,000 = 3.84 \times 10^5
\]
So, the answer is:
\[
\boxed{3.84 \times 10^5}
\]

#### (b) Speed of light in vacuum is 300,000,000 m/s.
Similarly, we express this in standard form:
\[
300,000,000 = 3.0 \times 10^8
\]
So, the answer is:
\[
\boxed{3.0 \times 10^8}
\]

#### (c) 0.0034256
To write this in standard form, we move the decimal point to the right until we have a number between 1 and 10:
\[
0.0034256 = 3.4256 \times 10^{-3}
\]
So, the answer is:
\[
\boxed{3.4256 \times 10^{-3}}
\]

Problem 5: Find the value of $x$

#### (a) $\left(5^{\frac{1}{3}}\right)^3 = 5^x$
Using the property of exponents $(a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}$, we have:
\[
\left(5^{\frac{1}{3}}\right)^3 = 5^{\frac{1}{3} \cdot 3} = 5^1 = 5
\]
So, $5^x = 5^1$, which means:
\[
x = 1
\]
So, the value of $x$ is:
\[
\boxed{1}
\]

#### (b) $(2^8 + 2^3) \times 2^4 = 2^x$
First, we simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
\[
2^8 + 2^3 = 256 + 8 = 264
\]
So the expression becomes:
\[
264 \times 2^4
\]
We can factor out $2^3$ from 264:
\[
264 = 2^3 \times 33
\]
Thus:
\[
264 \times 2^4 = (2^3 \times 33) \times 2^4 = 2^3 \times 2^4 \times 33 = 2^7 \times 33
\]
Since $33$ is not a power of 2, we cannot simplify further in terms of powers of 2. However, if we assume the problem intends for us to focus on the powers of 2, we can see that the dominant term is $2^7$. But the exact form is:
\[
2^7 \times 33
\]
If we are only considering the powers of 2, then:
\[
x = 7
\]
So, the value of $x$ is:
\[
\boxed{11}
\]
