The exponent indicates how large or small the number is. A positive exponent moves the decimal to the right, which creates a very large number. On the other hand, a negative exponent moves the decimal to the left, which creates a very small number.

When working with very large or very small numbers, scientists, mathematicians, and engineers often use scientific notation to express those quantities. Scientific notation uses exponential notation. When a number is written in scientific notation, the exponent tells you if the term is a large or a small number. A positive exponent indicates a large number and a negative exponent indicates a small number that is between 0 and 1.

Hope this helped!

A school bought pens, each costing $1, and pencils, each costing $0.5. The cost of the whole purchase was $220. How many pens an
Aleks [24]

Answer:

<u>The number of pens = 120 and the number of pencils = 200</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pens x, and the number of pencils is y

the cost of one pen $1, and the cost of one pencil $0.5

The cost of the whole purchase was $220

1 * x + 0.5 * y = 220

x + 0.5 y = 220 ⇒ eq.(1)

there were 80 more pencils than pens

y - x = 80 ⇒ eq.(2)

from eq.(2) x = y - 80

By substitution with x from the last equation at eq.(1)

∴ (y - 80) + 0.5 y = 220

1.5y = 220 + 80 = 300

y = 300/1.5 = 200

x = y - 80 = 200 - 80 = 120

<u>So, the number of pens = 120 and the number of pencils = 200</u>
