What you can do in this case is the following rule of three to find the result:
 1 light year ---> 5.88 * 10 ^ 12 miles
 3.2 * 10 ^ 2 light year ---> x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = ((3.2 * 10 ^ 2) / (1)) * (5.88 * 10 ^ 12)
 x = 1.88 * 10 ^ 15 miles
 answer:
 In scientific notation, approximately it is 1.88 * 10 ^ 15 miles

Represent <br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B%20-%207%7D%7B5%7D%20" id="TexFormula1" title=" \frac{ - 7}{5} " al
Ilya [14]

Given:

The number is -\dfrac{7}{5}.

To find:

The location of the given number of the number line.

Solution:

We have,

Number=-\dfrac{7}{5}

It can be written as

Number=-\dfrac{5+2}{5}

Number=-\dfrac{5}{5}-\dfrac{2}{5}

Number=-1-\dfrac{2}{5}

It means the number is less than -1 but more than -2. So, the number lies between -2 and -1.

The mixed fraction form of given number is

Number=-(1+\dfrac{2}{5})

Number=-(1\dfrac{2}{5})

Number=-1\dfrac{2}{5}

Divide the number in 5 equal parts between two consecutive integers.

Now each unit represents \dfrac{1}{5}.

Since Number=-1-\dfrac{2}{5}, therefore, it is 2 units left from -1.

The number line is given below.

Evaluate the geometric series or state that it diverges. one ninth 1 9plus+startfraction 7 over 81 endfraction 7 81plus+startfra
olasank [31]
The series converges, and its sum is 1/2.

If r > 1, the series is divergent.  If r < 1, the series is convergent.  In our sequence, r, the common ratio we multiply by to get the next term, is 7/9; therefore it is convergent.

To find the sum of a convergent series, we use the formula
a/(1-r), where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.  We then have
1/9÷(1-7/9) = 1/9÷2/9 = 1/9×9/2 = 1/2

On a piece of paper, graph y&gt;x-1. Then determine which answer choice
zepelin [54]

The graph that matches the given equation is y≥x-1 is Graph A.

Option: C.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The given equation y≥x-1 is a linear inequality equation.

Graphing Linear Inequalities differs from graphing regular linear equations. That is it has certain rules to be followed to draw the graph.

  1. First, rearrange the equation as y in the left and other terms in the opposite side.
  2. Check for the line: y= , y≤ and y≥ comes with straight line where as y< and y> comes with a dotted line.
  3. Shading: If y> greater than or y≥ greater than or equal is present then the space above the line has to be shaded. If y< less than or y≤ less than or equal  is present then the space below the line has to be shaded.

For the given equation y≥x-1,

The line will be solid passing through (0,-1) and (3,2) since it has y≥. Also, the region above the line is shaded.

So the graph A is the graph that matches the equation y≥x-1.
