    This document contains a practice test with multiple choice, short answer, and extended response questions about indices and geometric sequences. It has four parts - Part A contains 5 multiple choice questions about simplifying expressions with indices. Part B asks students to express expressions in index form or simplify expressions with indices. Part C contains word problems about doubling populations and evaluating expressions. Part D asks students to simplify an expression with indices, write terms of a geometric sequence, find the sum of terms, and use a formula to solve a word problem about population growth rates.

    Part C: Problem Solving (10 marks)

    11. A bacteria population doubles every hour. If there are 1000 bacteria at the
    start, how many bacteria will there be in 6 hours? Express your answer in
    index form.
    12. Evaluate (2⁻³) × (4⁵) ÷ (64⁻³).

    Part D: Extended Response (20 marks)

    13. Simplify the expression (a⁵ × a⁷) ÷ (a² × a³) and explain each step.
    14. A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers where each term is found by

    4, 8, 16 is a geometric sequence with common ratio 2 (each term is twice the
    previous term).

    a. Write down the first three terms of a geometric sequence with first term 3 and
    common ratio 4.
    b. Find the sum of the first four terms of this sequence.
    c. Write down the formula for finding the sum of the first n terms of a geometric
    sequence with first term a and common ratio r.

    with first term 2 and common ratio 3.

    15. The population of a city increases by 5% per year. If the current population is
    100,000, what will the population be in 10 years? Express your answer in index
    form, to the nearest thousand.
