Question 9:

Find the values of the following:

\begin{array}{l} (a) {(9 + \sqrt[3]{- 8})}^{2} \\ (b) \sqrt{144} \div \sqrt[3]{216} \times {0.3}^{3} \end{array}

Solution:

\begin{array}{l} (a) {(9 + \sqrt[3]{- 8})}^{2} = {[9 + (- 2)]}^{2} \\ = 7^{2} \\ = 49 \end{array}

\begin{array}{l} (b) \sqrt{144} \div \sqrt[3]{216} \times {0.3}^{3} \\ = 12 \div 6 \times (0.3 \times 0.3 \times 0.3) \\ = 2 \times 0.027 \\ = 0.054 \end{array}

Question 10:

\begin{array}{l} (a) Find the value of \sqrt{0.09} \\ (b) Calculate the value of {(\frac{5}{7} \times \sqrt{49})}^{2} \end{array}

Solution:

\begin{array}{l} (a) \\ \sqrt{0.09} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{100}} = \frac{3}{10} = 0.3 \\ (b) \\ {(\frac{5}{7} \times \sqrt{49})}^{2} = {(\frac{5}{7} \times 7)}^{2} \\ = 5^{2} \\ = 25 \end{array}

Question 11:

\begin{array}{l} (a) Find the value of \sqrt[3]{- \frac{1}{27}} \\ (b) Calculate the value of {(7 + \sqrt[3]{- 8})}^{2} \end{array}

Solution:

\begin{array}{l} (a) \\ \sqrt[3]{- \frac{1}{27}} = \sqrt[3]{- \frac{1}{3} \times - \frac{1}{3} \times - \frac{1}{3}} = - \frac{1}{3} \\ (b) \\ {(7 + \sqrt[3]{- 8})}^{2} = {[7 + (- 2)]}^{2} \\ = 5^{2} \\ = 25 \end{array}

Question 12:

\begin{array}{l} (a) Find the value of {(- \frac{1}{4})}^{3} . \\ (b) Calculate the value of {(4.2 \div \sqrt[3]{27})}^{2} . \end{array}

Solution:

\begin{array}{l} (a) \\ {(- \frac{1}{4})}^{3} = - \frac{1}{4} \times - \frac{1}{4} \times - \frac{1}{4} \\ = - \frac{1}{64} \\ (b) \\ {(4.2 \div \sqrt[3]{27})}^{2} = {(4.2 \div 3)}^{2} \\ = {1.4}^{2} \\ = 1.4 \times 1.4 \\ = 1.96 \end{array}
