Respective exponential forms are

Write down each of the following in exponential form:
$$ (i) \quad 4 a^{3} \times 6 a b^{2} \times c^{2} $$ $$ (ii) \quad 5 x y \times 3 x^{2} y \times 7 y^{2} $$ $$ (iii) \quad a^{3} \times 3 a b^{2} \times 2 a^{2} b^{2} $$$$ Sol.

The number of bacteria in a culture is x now. It becomes square of itself after one week. What will be its number after two weeks?

Sol. Current number of bacteria in the culture = x
Given that bacteria becomes square of itself in a week.
$$ \therefore \text {Number of bacteria in the culture after one week } =x^{2} $$ $$ \Rightarrow \text {Number of bacteria in the culture after two weeks } $$ $$ = (\text {No. of bacteria after 1 week})^{2} $$ $$ =(x^{2})^{2}=x^{4} $$Q5. The area of a rectangle is given by the product of its length and breadth. The length of a rectangle is two-third of its breadth. Find its area if its breadth is x cm.

$$ \text {Sol. Given that area of rectangle } = \text {length} \times \text {breadth} $$Breadth of the given rectangle = x cm
$$ \therefore \text {Length of the rectangle } =\frac{2}{3} \times x \text { cm} $$ $$ \Rightarrow \text {Area of the rectangle } =\frac{2}{3}x \times x=\frac{2}{3} x^{2} \text { cm}^{2} $$$$ \text {Q6. If there are x rows of chairs and each row contains } x^{2} \text { chairs. Determine the total number of chairs.} $$$$ \text {Sol. Given that there are x rows of chairs and each row contains } x^{2} \text { chairs.} $$ $$ \text { Total number of chairs } = \text {Number of rows } \times \text {Number of chairs in each row } $$ $$ =x \times x^{2} =x^{3} $$
