Answer Key - Chapter 2 Power Play

1-b, 2-a, 3-b, 4-b, 5-b, 6-b, 7-b, 8-b, 9-b, 10-a, 11-a, 12-b, 13-c, 14-b, 15-a, 16-b, 17-a, 18-b, 19-b, 20-a

Detailed Solutions with Tricks

Q2. Trick: a^m × aⁿ = a^m+n. So 3²×3³ = 3⁵ = 243

Q3. Trick: (a^m)ⁿ = a^mn. (2³)² = 2⁶ = 64

Q5 & Q6. Negative Power: a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ. So 10⁻² = 1/100 = 0.01 and 5⁻³ = 1/125

Q8. Flip Rule: (a/b)⁻ⁿ = (b/a)ⁿ. So (3/4)⁻² = (4/3)² = 16/9

Q13. Any number power 0 = 1. So 1+1+1=3

Q19. Most Important Formula: a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ

Detailed Solutions with Tricks (New Syllabus)

5. Trick: Numbers between n² and (n+1)² = 2n. So between 8² and 9² = 2×8=16 numbers.

10. 32=2×2×2×2×2 = 2⁴×2. To make pairs, need one more 2. 32×2=64=8².

18. 17²=289, 18²=324, so √300 is between 17-18. Estimation is new in 2026-27 book.

19. Important Pattern for new book: Sum of cubes = (sum of numbers)². 1+8+27=36 and (1+2+3)²=36.

20. 100 has 2 zeros, square doubles zeros: 100²=10000 has 4 zeros.
