Answer:

2.99 x 10⁸ meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation (also called "Standard form") is written in the form of $a \times 10^n$ , where $1\leq a < 10$ and $n$ is any positive or negative whole number.

To convert a number into scientific notation, move the decimal point to the left or right until there is one digit before the decimal point.

The number of times you have moved the decimal point is the power of 10 ( $n$ ).

If the decimal point has moved to the left, the power is positive.

If the decimal point has moved to the right, the power is negative.

To convert the given number to scientific notation

The decimal point for the given number 299000000 is after the last zero:

⇒ 299000000.

Move the decimal point 8 places to the left:

⇒ 2.99000000

Get rid of the redundant zeros:

⇒ 2.99

Multiply by 10 to the power of the number of decimal places moved:

⇒ 2.99 x 10⁸

Therefore, the speed of light using scientific notation is:

2.99 x 10⁸ meters per second

What is the rectangular form of z= 40(cos(7pi/6)+ i sin(7pi/6))

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

C. $z = -20\sqrt{3}-i\,20$

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular form of a complex number is represented by the following formula:

$z = a+i\,b$ (1)

Where each coefficient can be determined as function of the polar components:

$a = r\cdot \cos \theta$ (2)

$b = r\cdot \sin \theta$ (3)

Where:

$r$ - Magnitude of the complex number, dimensionless.

$\theta$ - Direction of the complex number, measured in radians.

If we know that $r = 40$ and $\theta = \frac{7\pi}{6}$ , then the rectangular form of the number is:

$a = 40\cdot \cos \frac{7\pi}{6}$

$a = -20\sqrt{3}$

$b = 40\cdot \sin \frac{7\pi}{6}$

$b = -20$

The rectangular form of $z=40\cdot\left(\cos \frac{7\pi}{6}+i\,\sin \frac{7\pi}{6}\right)$ is $z = -20\sqrt{3}-i\,20$ . The correct answer is C.

Trigonometry that’s due in one hour :(

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

(a) $\theta=\tan^{-1}(-0.890)$

$\implies \theta=-41.66908262 \pm 180 \textdegree n$

$\implies \theta=138.3309174..., 318.3309174...$

$\implies \theta=138\textdegree, 318\textdegree$

(b) $\theta=\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{2}\right)$

$\implies \theta=30 \textdegree \pm360 \textdegree n, 330 \textdegree \pm360 \textdegree n$

$\implies \theta=30 \textdegree , 330 \textdegree$

$\implies \theta=30 \textdegree \pm360 \textdegree n, 150 \textdegree \pm360 \textdegree n$

$\implies \theta=30 \textdegree , 150 \textdegree$

A single ball is drawn from an urn containing 6 balls numbered 1 through 6. Find the probability that the ball choosen is as fol

Stolb23 [73]

There are 3 even number: 2.4. and 6, so the probabilty of getting an even-numbered ball is 3/6, which is 0.5.
the same is getting an odd number, 0.5
