Question: 4

The number of bacteria in a culture is x now. It becomes square of itself after one week. What will be its number after two weeks?

Solution:

Present number of bacteria in a culture = x

Number of bacteria in the culture after one week = x2

Number of bacteria in the culture after two weeks = (x2)2 = x4

 

Question: 5

The area of a rectangle is given by the product of its length and breadth. The length of a rectangle is two-thirs of its breadth. Find its area if its breadth is x cm.

Solution:

Breadth of the given rectangle = x cm

Length of the rectangle = 23 x cm

Area of the rectangle = 23x × x = 23 cm2

 

Question: 6

If there are x rows of chairs and each row contains x2 chairs. Determine the total numbers of chairs.
