Samuel is incorrect because he didn't subtract the power of the numbers.

<h3>How many more rod cells are there?</h3>

The number of rod and cone cells in the human eye is written in scientific notation. Scientific notation is used in expressing large numbers in smaller numbers. To write a number in scientific notation, the number is written as a decimal number, between 1 and 10 and multiplied by a power of 10. For example, 1 x 10² is equivalent to 100

(9.1 x 10^7) - (4.5 x 10^6)

= (9.1 - 4.5) x 10^(7 - 6)

4.6 x 10 = 46

Answer:

  a = 3, b = 12, c = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  (a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)

  (a^b)^c = a^(bc)

___

You seem to have ...

  \dfrac{2^5\times8^4}{16}=\dfrac{2^5\times(2^3)^4}{2^4}\qquad (a=3)\\\\=\dfrac{2^5\times2^{3\cdot4}}{2^4}=\dfrac{2^5\times2^{12}}{2^4}\qquad (b=12)\\\\=2^{5+12-4}=2^{13}\qquad(c=13)

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

I find it easy to remember the rules of exponents by remembering that <em>an exponent signifies repeated multiplication</em>. It tells you how many times the base is a factor in the product.

  2\cdot2\cdot2 = 2^3\qquad\text{2 is a factor 3 times}

Multiplication increases the number of times the base is a factor.

  (2\cdot2\cdot2)\times(2\cdot2)=(2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2)\\\\2^3\times2^2=2^{3+2}=2^5

Similarly, division cancels factors from numerator and denominator, so decreases the number of times the base is a factor.

  \dfrac{(2\cdot2\cdot2)}{(2\cdot2)}=2\\\\\dfrac{2^3}{2^2}=2^{3-2}=2^1

Sarah needs 10 feet of fabric for a project she is working on, but the store only sells the fabric in meters. One meter of fabri
Aleks [24]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The fabric will cost $4.58

D.$4.58

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since it's a conversion exercise, we need to pay special attention to the conversion procedure.

From the statement we know that:

1ft=0.305m

So, if she needs 10 feet of fabric, we need to convert it to meters, and then, calculate its cost.

We have that:

10*1ft=10*0.305m\\\\10ft=3.05m

Now, we have that each meter of fabric cost $1.50, so, 3.05m of fabric will cost:

\frac{1m}{1.50(dollars)}=\frac{3.05m}{cost}\\\\cost=\frac{3.05m*1.50(dollars)}{1m}=4.575(dollars)=4.58(dollars)

Hence, we have that the cost of the fabric will be $4.58.

The correct option is: D.$4.58​

Have a nice day!

Solve for x. 3(x + 2) + 4(x - 5) = 10 x = 36/7 x = 24/7 x = 16/7 x = 9/7
IRISSAK [1]

3(x + 2) + 4(x - 5) = 10

Use the distributive property:

3x + 6 + 4x - 20 = 10

Combine like terms:

7x -14 = 10

Add 14 to both sides:

7x = 24

Divide both sides by 7:

x = 24/7
