    If \[{{\mathbf{3}}^{-\mathbf{x}}}=\mathbf{3000},\] then find \[\mathbf{1}{{\mathbf{0}}^{\mathbf{3}}}\times {{3}^{\left( 2x+3 \right)}}\]

    A)  \[3\times {{10}^{-3}}\]           

    B)  \[27\times {{10}^{-3}}\]      

    C)  \[9\times {{10}^{-3}}\]                       

    D)  3000

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a) \[{{3}^{-x}}=3000\] \[\Rightarrow {{3}^{x}}={{\left( 3000 \right)}^{-1}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{\left( {{3}^{x}} \right)}^{2}}={{\left[ {{\left( 3000 \right)}^{-1}} \right]}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{3}^{2x}}={{\left( 3000 \right)}^{-1}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{3}^{2x+3}}={{\left( 3000 \right)}^{-1}}\times 9\] \[\Rightarrow {{10}^{3}}\times {{3}^{2x+3}}={{10}^{3}}\times {{\left( 3\times {{10}^{3}} \right)}^{-2}}\times 27\] \[={{10}^{3}}\times {{3}^{-2}}\times {{10}^{-6}}\times 27\] \[=3\times {{10}^{-3}}\].
