$\textit{internal division of a line segment using ratios} \\\\\\ P(-10,7)\qquad R(8,-5)\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from P to R}}{4:5} \\\\\\ \cfrac{P\underline{Q}}{\underline{Q} R} = \cfrac{4}{5}\implies \cfrac{P}{R} = \cfrac{4}{5}\implies 5P=4R\implies 5(-10,7)=4(8,-5)$

$(\stackrel{x}{-50}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{35})=(\stackrel{x}{32}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{-20})\implies Q=\underset{\textit{sum of the ratios}}{\left( \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of x's}}{-50 +32}}{4+5}~~,~~\cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of y's}}{35 -20}}{4+5} \right)} \\\\\\ Q=\left( \cfrac{-18}{9}~~,~~\cfrac{15}{9} \right)\implies Q=\left( -2~~,~~\cfrac{5}{3} \right)$

Which shows the expression below simplified? 0.00048 - (3.4 × 10-5) A. 4.46 × 10-4 B. 3.39952 × 10-5 C. 4.46 × 10-5 D. 1.4 × 10-

Option C

The simplified form of given expression is $4.46 \times 10^{-4}$

Solution:

Given that we have to simplify the expression shown below

$0.00048 - (3.4 \times 10^{-5})$

Let us first convert 0.00048 to scientific notation

Steps to follow:

Move the decimal point in your number until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The resulting decimal number is a.

Count how many places you moved the decimal point. This number is b.

If you moved the decimal to the left b is positive.

If you moved the decimal to the right b is negative.

If you did not need to move the decimal b = 0.

Write your scientific notation number as a x 10^b and read it as "a times 10 to the power of b."

Remove trailing 0's only if they were originally to the left of the decimal point.

$0.00048 = 4.8 \times 10^{-4}$

So the given expression becomes,

$\rightarrow 4.8 \times 10^{-4} - 3.4 \times 10^{-5}$

Let us make the exponent of second term as -4

$\rightarrow 4.8 \times 10^{-4} - 0.34 \times 10^{-4}$

Take $10^{-4}$ as common term,

$\rightarrow 10^{-4} (4.8 - 0.34)$

$\rightarrow 4.46 \times 10^{-4}$

Thus option C is correct

Find the angle measures.

Anarel [89]

Answer: m<5 is 71 degrees, m<8 is 109 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: M<5 and m<1 are corresponding angles, so they have the same angle measurement.

M<5 and M<8 are angles on a line, meaning they must add up to 180 degrees, so you subtract m<5's angle measure from 180 to find that m<8 is 109 degrees.

Hope this helps.

6. Find the total bill:

daser333 [38]

First multiply all the items up with their correct prices.

5 Golf Clubs = 18.65 each

5 x 18.65 = 93.25

60 Golf Balls = 16.50 per dozen

60 = 5 dozen

5 x 16.50 = 82.5

1 pair of golf shoes = 75.80

1 x 75.80 = 75.80

Now, add them all up.

93.25 + 82.5 + 75.80 = 251.55

Lastly, multiply by 1.15 to add the 15% sales tax.

251.55 x 1.15 = 289.28

Thus, the total cost of all the equipment with tax is $289.28
