Answer:

3 x 10^-1 km per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientific notation includes c x 10^n. c is a number between 1-9, and n is the nth power of 10.

If we move the decimal in 0.3 to the right by 1 place, we can get "c", which will be 3. Since we have moved the decimal to the right, each place moved right counts as -1 for n.

So, the answer is 3 x 10^-1 km per second.

The sum of the roots of 3x 2 + 11x - 4 = 0 is<br><br> -11/3<br> -4/3<br> 11/3<br> 4/3
givi [52]

Answer:

The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quadratic equation is defined as

ax^2+bx+c=0             .... (1)

Then the sum of the roots is -b/a and the product of roots is c/a.

The given equation is

3x^2+11x-4=0          ... (2)

From (1) and (2) we get a=3, b=11 and c=-4.

The sum of roots is

\frac{-b}{a}=-\frac{11}{3}

The sum of roots is -\frac{11}{3}.

Therefore the correct option is 1.

The cost to gift wrap an order is $3 plus $1 per item wrapped . What is the independent and dependent variable
motikmotik
The independent variable for this function is the number of items wrapped while the dependent variable is the cost to wrap the gifts. This is because the independent variable refers to the input to the function while the dependent variable is the output of the function. In this case, the function is expressed as:

C = 3 + 1(X)

where, 

C = cost of wrapping the gifts
X = number of items wrapped

Your paycheck each week is $500.00. If you want to save $2000 in one year, how much should you set aside from each paycheck?
Mnenie [13.5K]
There are 52 weeks in a year. In order to figure out how much you have to save each week to save a total of $2000, you have to divide $2000 by 52. 

2000÷52= 38.462

So to save $2000 you would have to set aside about $38.50 each week.
