Answer:

Let the required number be x.
(−5)^-1 $\times$ x = (8)^-1
⇒ $\frac{1}{- 5} \times x = \frac{1}{8}$
∴ x = $\frac{1}{8} \times (- 5)$ = $\frac{- 5}{8}$
Hence, the required number is $\frac{- 5}{8}$ .

${(\frac{5}{3})}^{- 5} \times {(\frac{5}{3})}^{11} = {(\frac{5}{3})}^{8 x}$
⇒ ${(\frac{5}{3})}^{- 5 + 11} = {(\frac{5}{3})}^{8 x}$ [ since $a^{m} \times a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ ]
⇒ ${(\frac{5}{3})}^{6} = {(\frac{5}{3})}^{8 x}$
On equating the coefficients:
6 = 8x

Answer:

Let the required number be x.
(−20)^-1 ÷ x = (−10)^-1
⇒ $\frac{1}{(- 20)} \times \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{(- 10)}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{(- 20 x)} = \frac{1}{(- 10)}$
∴ x = $\frac{(- 10)}{(- 20)} = \frac{1}{2} = 2^{- 1}$
Hence, the required number is 2^-1.

⇒ $2^{n} \times 5^{n} = 2 \times 5^{4} \times 2^{7} \times 5^{4}$            [using cross multiplication]
⇒ $2^{n} \times 5^{n} = 2^{1 + 7} \times 5^{4 + 4}$               [since a^m × aⁿ = a^m+n ]
