How is the scientific use of the term digital different from the common use

1 answer:

5 0

While “digital” commonly refers to electronics in general, the scientific definition of digital is much different. “Digital” in information science refers to the finite, discontinuous phenomenon (e.g., on or off states in a light bulb) as opposed to infinitely varying, continuous analog phenomenon (e.g., the brightness of daylight). It can also refer to representing data in figures as opposed to data represented in pictorial form.

Determine the equation of the linear function that has a slope of -4 and passes through the point (2,-4). Write the equation in

padilas [110]

Answer:

Part 1) $y=-4x+4$

Part 2) The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

$m=-4\\point\ (2,-4)$

substitute in the linear equation

$-4=-4(2)+b$

solve for b

$-4=-8+b\\b=8-4\\b=4$

substitute

$y=-4x+4$

Part 2) Draw the equation

we know that

To graph a line we need two points

we have the y-intercept (0,4) and (2,-4)

Plot the points, connect them and join to draw the line

see the attached figure

Explain how to use basic facts and number patterns to find 5,600 divide by 7

Charra [1.4K]

5600 can be simplified. Say you were to just take the two zeros off the end and you would have 56. Now divide 56 by 7 and you get 8. Add the zeros back to the 8 and your answer is 7 x 800. Hope this helps.

The difference of two perfect cubes is 386. If the cube root of the smaller of the two numbers is 7, then the cube root of the l

choli [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two perfect cubes be x and y where x > y.

According to the given conditions:

${x}^{3} - {y}^{3} = 386...(1) \\ y = 7...(2) \\ plug \: y = 7 \: in \: equation \: (1) \\ {x}^{3} - {7}^{3} = 386 \\ {x}^{3} - 343 = 386 \\ {x}^{3} = 343 + 386 \\ {x}^{3} = 343 + 386 \\ {x}^{3} = 729 \\ x = \sqrt[3]{729} \\ x = 9$
