Steps to Solve
-
Evaluate (a): Calculate $ \frac{78 \cdot 10^{7} \cdot 12}{6 \cdot 7^{6} \cdot 8^{4} \cdot a^{-12}} $
Apply the division of powers rule to simplify:
- Numerator: $ 78 \cdot 12 = 936 $
- Denominator: Factor and simplify where possible,
- Combine like bases.
Final expression: $ \frac{936 \cdot 10^{7}}{6 \cdot 7^{6} \cdot 8^{4} \cdot a^{-12}} $.
-
Evaluate (b): Calculate $ 54 \cdot 74 \cdot 27 \cdot \frac{125 \cdot 5^{2} \cdot a^{7}}{10^{3} \cdot a^{4}} $
Simplify the fraction:
- Combine constants and factor powers of $a$.
- Use the division of powers rule: $ a^m/a^n = a^{m-n} $.
-
Evaluate (c): Calculate $ \frac{125 \cdot 5^{2} \cdot a^{7}}{10^{3} \cdot a^{4}} $
Apply the division of powers rule:
- Combine constants,
- Simplify powers of $a$: $ a^{7-4} = a^{3} $.
-
Evaluate (d): Calculate $ \frac{34 \cdot 12^{3} \cdot 36}{25 \cdot 63^{5}} $
Follow similar steps:
- Simplify the coefficients and powers in the expression,
- Factor when applicable.
-
Evaluate (e): Calculate $ \frac{6 \cdot 10}{2^{2} \cdot 5^{3}} $
- Combine and simplify using the rules of exponents:
- Factor constants appropriately.
-
Evaluate (f): Calculate $ \frac{15^{1} \cdot 18^{5}}{3^{5} \cdot 5^{2} \cdot 12^{2}} $
- Use the division rule for any accumulated powers.
- Simplification should yield manageable powers.
-
Evaluate (g): Calculate $ \frac{6^{4} \cdot x^{2} \cdot 25^{3}}{3^{2} \cdot 4^{2} \cdot 15^{6}} $
- Simplify both sides,
- Apply the powers rules as needed.
The evaluation of each expression will yield specific numerical results as outlined through simplification processes.
