Mathematics is a subject that builds on previous concepts, and understanding the basics of exponents and powers is crucial for students as they progress to more advanced topics. Class 8 Math Ch12 Exponents and Power Ex 12.1-NCERT introduces students to the fundamental concept of exponents, a mathematical notation used to represent repeated multiplication of the same number. This chapter lays the groundwork for students to better understand powers of numbers and apply them in various mathematical and real-world problems.

Solution:
Ex 12.1 Class 8 Maths Question 5.
Find the value of m for which 5m ÷ 5-3 = 55.
Solution:
5m ÷ 5-3 = 55
⇒ 5m-(-3) = 55 [∵ am ÷ an = am-n]
⇒ 5m+3 = 55
Comparing the powers of equal bases, we have
m + 3 = 5
m = 5 – 3 = 2, i.e., m = 2
