Question

If 102y = 25, then 10-y equals

Options

  • \[- \frac{1}{5}\]
  • \[\frac{1}{50}\]

MCQ

Solution

We have to find the value of `10^-y`

Given that, `10^(2y) = 25` therefore,

`10^(2y) = 25`

`(10^y)^2 = 5^2`

`(10^y)^(2 xx 1/2)= 5^(2 xx 1/2)`

`(10^y)^(2 xx 1/2)= 5^(2 xx 1/2)`

`10^y/1 = 5/1`

`1/5 =1/10^y`

`1/5 =10^-y`
