1 answer:

6 0

X^2 - 10x + 15 = 0
x^2 - 10x = -15
x^2 - 10x + 25 = -15 + 25
(x - 5)^2 = 10 <====
x - 5 = (+-)sqrt 10
x = 5 (+-) sqrt 10

solutions are :
x = 5 + sqrt 10 and x = 5 - sqrt 10

Keri is simplifying 5·10^−3.

Answer:

1. D

2. A

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1. Kerry is simplifying $5\cdot 10^{-3}$

By the definition of negative powers,

$a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}$

Hence,

$10^{-3}=\dfrac{1}{10^3}$

So, the first step in simplifying the expression is

$5\cdot 10^{-3}=5\cdot \dfrac{1}{10^3}$

Q2. Given the expression

$\dfrac{8}{10^{-2}}$

First, use the definition of negative powers:

$10^{-2}=\dfrac{1}{10^2}$

Thus,

$\dfrac{8}{10^-2}=\dfrac{8}{\frac{1}{10^2}}=8\cdot 10^2=8\cdot 100=800$

Evaluate. 102+6⋅7+8 70142150190

Aloiza [94]

Hi.

102+6(7)+8 (your equation)
102+ 42+ 8 (since the order is PEMDAS, multiplication has to go first. 6x7=42
144 + 8 (since you go left to right, 102 +42 has to be 1st. Answer= 144)
152 (now the only thing left is 144 + 8, so do that. Answer= 152.)

Since that's the last step, 152 will be your answer.

Hoped I helped and if you need anymore you could always ask me~
