since there is always a decimal at the end of every value so :

= 262144.0

you move the decimal backwards if there is no decimal between the value. you place the decimal after the 1st digit, you will also count the digits you have passed :

= 2.62144 X 10^5

you passed 5 values so you put 5 in exponent form.

The decimal is behind the last four naturally (262,144.0), so you have to move it to the left 5 spaces to get the number to a value under 10. The answer would be written like 2.62144 x 10^5 (with 5 being an exponent)

**Remember the exponent is positive if you start out with a whole number and negative if you start of with a decimal

Hello!

You put -2 in for x

I don't know whether it is times x or to the power of x so I will do both

5 * 3 * x

5 * 3 * -2 = -30
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 * 3^x

5 * 3^-2

5 * 1/81 = 5/9 or 0.55555

Hope this helps!

Kenya plans to make a down payment plus monthly payments in order to buy a motorcycle. At one dealer she would pay $2,350 down a

Answer:

After 16 months, Kenya will have paid $5,550

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a guess and check type of a problem. You guess a number of months, plug it into x, and see if both equations come out with the same answer.

If you plug 16 into the first dealer's equation, you get y= 200(16) + 2350. Solving this equation will mean y equals 5550.

If you plug 16 into the second dealer's equation, you get y= 175(16) + 2750.

Solving this equation will mean y also equals 5550.
