X-y is positive when y is further away from 0, compared to x. In other words, when y is a larger negative
For example
x = -2
y = -5
x-y = -2-(-5) = -2+5 = 3
The larger value is 9 x 10^9
The smaller value is 3 x 10^(-4)
Divide the larger over the smaller
Doing so will have you divide the coefficients 9 and 3 (numbers in front of the "times ten to the..." portions) to get 9/3 = 3.
Then you'll also subtract the exponents: 9 minus (-4) = 9 - (-4) = 9 + 4 = 13
In summary so far, we got a coefficient of 3 and an exponent of 13
So the final answer is 3 x 10^13 (assuming you want scientific notation)
If you want to convert to standard notation, instead of scientific notation, move the decimal point in 3.0 thirteen spots to the right to get
30,000,000,000,000
there are 13 zeros (four groups of 3 plus one just after the 3) in that value above. This is the number 30 trillion
Answer:
415
Step-by-step explanation:
the nth term of the sequence is -13 + 4n
the sequence is an arithmetic progression with nth term a + (n - 1)d
a = -9, d = a5- a4 = 7 -3 =4
nth = -9 + (n -1) 4
= -9 + 4n -4
= -13 + 4n
hence the 107th term; -13 + 4*107
-13 + 428 = 415
