FAQs on Exponents (Exercise 6.2) RD Sharma Solutions - Mathematics (Maths) Class 7

1. What are exponents?
Ans. Exponents, also known as powers, are mathematical notation used to represent repeated multiplication of a number by itself. They are written as a small superscript number placed to the upper right of a base number.
2. How do you read exponents?
Ans. Exponents are read in different ways depending on the context. For example, 2^3 can be read as "2 raised to the power of 3" or "2 to the third power". Similarly, 10^2 can be read as "10 squared" or "10 raised to the power of 2".
3. What is the meaning of a negative exponent?
Ans. A negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of a number or a fraction. For example, 3^-2 is equal to 1/3^2 or 1/9. It means that the number or fraction with a negative exponent is inverted.
4. How do you simplify expressions with exponents?
Ans. To simplify expressions with exponents, you can use the rules of exponents. If you have the same base raised to different exponents, you can multiply the exponents. For example, (2^3) * (2^2) can be simplified as 2^(3+2) = 2^5.
5. What is the difference between a base and an exponent?
Ans. The base of an exponent is the number that is multiplied by itself repeatedly. The exponent is the small superscript number that indicates how many times the base is multiplied by itself. For example, in 2^3, 2 is the base and 3 is the exponent.
