b) √20
23 = 8, 33 = 27
3 3
√20 is more close to 3 to √27 hence, nearest integer will be 3.
2. True or false?
a) 6 < √44 < 7
√36 < √44 < √49 - True
b) 4 or √17
42 = √16
√16 < √17
Hence, 4 < √17
3
c) √102 or 5
53 = 125
3 3
√125 > √102
3
Hence, 5 > √102
4. X is an integer less than 10. Find the values that x can be if 2.8 < √𝑋 < 4
2.82 = 7.84, 42 = 16
√7.84 < √𝑋 < √10
√9 = 3
Hence, X = 9
7. These numbers are placed in an increasing order. Spot the mistakes and
correct them.
a) 5-1, 7-1, 2-1, 1-1
It should be before 5-1
8. 210 = 1024. In computing this is called 1K. Write each of these as a power of
2.

a) 2K = 2 × 210 = 211 b) 0.5K = 2 × 210 = 2-1 × 210 = 29

c) 5 – 50 – 5-1

=5–1-5
= 4 – 0.2
= 3.8

10. Explain why √305 is between 6 and 7.
63 = 216, 73 = 343
216 < 305 < 343
3 3 3
Hence, √216 < √305 < √343

6 < √305 < 7
b) 102 ÷ 10N = 10
10(2 - N) = 101
2–N=1
2–1=N

Use the table to express following expressions in terms of indices along with
final value
a) 49 × 2401
= 72 × 7 4
= 7(2 + 4)
= 76
b) 16807 × 343
= 75 × 7 3
= 7(5 +3)
= 78
c) 3432
= 343 × 343
= 7 3 × 73
= 7(3 + 3)
= 76

= 1010 – 5
= 105
c) (22 )4
= 22 × 4
= 28
d) (24)3
= 24 × 3
= 212
16. How many times 1.7 × 107 is larger than 1.9 × 106. Show with the working.
1.7 × 107 = 17 × 106, 1.9 × 106
17 × 106
No. of times =
1.9 × 106
