Answer:
7.789×10^-2 = 0.07789 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Your calculator can find the difference of the two given diameters and express it in any format you like.
The attached image of a calculator display shows the difference of the cell diameters is 0.07789 = 7.789×10^-2 cm.
__
The difference of two numbers with different exponents is found by first adjusting the exponents so they are the same. Here, we choose to adjust both numbers so they have the highest exponent value.
8.83×10^-2 - 6.01×10^-3
= 8.39×10^-2 - 0.601×10^-2 = (8.39 -0.601)×10^-2 = 7.789×10^-2
Alternatively, you can convert both numbers to standard form and do the subtraction that way.
8.83×10^-2 - 6.01×10^-3
= 0.0883 -0.00601 = 0.07789

The choice of exponent when computing the sum or difference of numbers in scientific notation is usefully informed by an estimate of the value of the sum or difference. A proper choice can avoid the need to adjust the exponent of the result of the operation. Here, we see the subtraction will change the larger value by less than 10%, so the exponent of the result in scientific notation will be that of the larger value (-2).
Answer:
B) 100
Step-by-step explanation:
All 3 interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 so:
x + 25 + 55 = 180
x + 80 = 180
x = 180 - 80
x = 100
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
The two equations appear to be ...
- 12x +4y = 152
- 32x +12y = 420
These can be solved for y using Cramer's rule:
y = (152(32) -420(12))/(4(32) -12(12)) = -176/-16 = 11
The cost of the vegetarian lunch is 11.

<em>Comment on Cramer's Rule</em>
For equations ...
ax +by =c
dx +ey = f
The solutions are ...
x = (bf -ey)/(bd -ea)
y = (cd -fa)/(bd -ea) . . . . note the denominators are the same expression
Once you memorize the pattern of products, this can be the simplest way to solve a pair of equations--especially if you only need one of the variable values.
