Q. 9100Which of the following values is equivalent to the given expression?Choose 1 answer:(A) 310(B) 910(C) 3100(D) 998
Rewriting the expression: We are given the expression 9100. The square root of a number is the same as raising that number to the power of 21. Therefore, we can rewrite the expression as (9100)21.
Simplifying using exponent properties: Using the property of exponents that states (am)n=a(m∗n), we can simplify the expression further. In this case, we have a=9, m=100, and n=21.
Further simplification: Multiplying the exponents, we get 9100×21 which simplifies to 950.
Rewriting using exponent properties: We know that 9 is 3 squared, or 9=32. Therefore, we can rewrite 950 as (32)50.
Multiplying the exponents: Using the property of exponents again, we multiply the exponents 2 and 50 to get (32)50=32×50.
Calculating the exponent: Calculating 2×50 gives us 100, so we have 3(2×50)=3100.
Final equivalent value: Therefore, the equivalent value of the expression 9100 is 3100, which corresponds to option (C).
