The size of a cell is typically found by capturing an image under a microscope then using software to measure its diameter. Two

cells are measured using this method: Cell E: 8.39 x 10-² centimeters Cell F: 6.01 x 10-3 centimeters What's the difference between the diameters of the two cells? Express your answer using either standard notation or scientific notation.​

Answer:

  7.789×10^-2 = 0.07789 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Your calculator can find the difference of the two given diameters and express it in any format you like.

The attached image of a calculator display shows the difference of the cell diameters is 0.07789 = 7.789×10^-2 cm.

__

The difference of two numbers with different exponents is found by first adjusting the exponents so they are the same. Here, we choose to adjust both numbers so they have the highest exponent value.

  8.83×10^-2 - 6.01×10^-3

  = 8.39×10^-2 - 0.601×10^-2 = (8.39 -0.601)×10^-2 = 7.789×10^-2

Alternatively, you can convert both numbers to standard form and do the subtraction that way.

  8.83×10^-2 - 6.01×10^-3

  = 0.0883 -0.00601 = 0.07789

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The second attachment shows the relationship between place values and their multiplier in scientific notation.

__

The choice of exponent when computing the sum or difference of numbers in scientific notation is usefully informed by an estimate of the value of the sum or difference. A proper choice can avoid the need to adjust the exponent of the result of the operation. Here, we see the subtraction will change the larger value by less than 10%, so the exponent of the result in scientific notation will be that of the larger value (-2).

Find at least 10 solutions to the linear equation 3x+y=-8​
Lorico [155]

3x + y = -8

<u>-3x       </u> <u> -3x</u>

        y = -3x - 8

Choose values for x, then input that value into the equation to solve for y:

\begin {array}{c|l||c}\underline{\ x\ }&\underline{\ -3x-8=y\ }&\underline{\ Coordinate\ }\\0&-3(0)-8=-8&(0,-8)\\1&-3(1)-8=-11&(1,-11)\\2&-3(2)-8=-14&(2,-14)\\3&-3(3)-8=-17&(3,-17)\\4&-3(4)-8=-20&(4,-20)\\5&-3(5)-8=-23&(5,-23)\\6&-3(6)-8=-26&(6,-26)\\7&-3(7)-8=-29&(7,-29)\\8&-3(8)-8=-32&(8,-32)\\9&-3(9)-8=-35&(9,-35)\\\end{array}

FYI: Do you see the pattern?

I need help with this geometry question
UNO [17]

Answer:

radius ≈ 15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

the radius is RS

the angle between a tangent and the radius at the point of contact is 90°

then Δ RST is a right triangle

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , then

RS² + ST² = RT² ( substitute values )

RS² + 7² = 17²

RS² + 49 = 289 ( subtract 49 from both sides )

RS² = 240 ( take square root of both sides )

RS = \sqrt{240} ≈ 15.5 ( to 1 dec. place )
