Whether it is useful or not depends on the scenario.

If the scenario involves finding zeros, or simplifying rational functions, then finding factors that can be cancelled or set to zero will aid in performing the task. In a scenario where a polynomial represents a differential equation, finding the factors can help determine the behavior of the solution to the equation.

If the scenario involves finding extremes or end-point behavior, factoring may be a waste of time.

Express 5000 as the power of 10

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

If you are to express 5000 in scientific notation form, it would be:

5 · $10^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at it, there is only 1 sig fig (significant figure) and this means if you are to change it to number from between 1 - 10

it would be: 5

so it would look like 5.000 or just 5.

5,000. vs. 5.000 are both completely different things, that are expressed in different ways. But in this case, you can see that we have move the decimal place 3 times, which is why we have $10^{3}$

That is how you get your answer!

Find Angle B<br> 100°<br> 150<br> 200<br> 100

Mila [183]

Answer:

50°

Step-by-step explanation:

An inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc. Here, arc AC is ∠B's intercepting arc. Arc AC is 100°, and 100/2 = 50, so ∠B is 50°.

Running at the same constant rate, 5 identical machines can produce one lot containing a certain number of toys per hour. At thi

inessss [21]

Answer:

$1.6\cdot{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If the speed is constant for 5 machines and produces x amount of toys we know that rate is defined as a constant per time:

Here the machines are constant and the rate is x toys per hour:

If 5 machines make x per hour:

Rate is x/1 hour

The the ratio of 8/5 is 1.6. Therefore for 8 machines the rate is 1.6 times more per hour than for5 machines. Therefore we can write an expression as:

Rate for 5 machines is x and for 8 machines is y:

$y=1.6\cdot{x}$
