Mathematics
1 answer:
NeTakaya3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

This means that the decimal system is responsible for representing quantities using ten different digits.

Step-by-step explanation:

This means that the decimal system is responsible for representing quantities using ten different digits: 0 (zero), 1 (one), 2 (two), 3 (three), 4 (four), 5 (five ), 6 (six), 7 (seven), 8 (eight) and 9 (nine).

The digits acquire their value according to the relative position they occupy. This position, in turn, depends on the base in question. It has the powers of the number ten as a base. Thus: 10 raised to 0 is equal to 1; 10 raised to 1 is equal to 10; 10 raised to 2 equals 100; etc.

The number 123, for example, has three figures. In the decimal system, it is constructed as follows, respecting the corresponding positions:

(1 x 10 raised to 2) + (2 x 10 raised to 1) + (3 x 10 raised to 0)

(1 x 100) + (2 x 10) + (3 x 1)

100 + 20 + 3

123

As you can see, from right to left, the first place corresponds to the unit (10 raised to 0), the second place corresponds to the ten (10 raised to 1) and the third place corresponds to the hundred (10 raised to 2 ).

Hope this helps!

Pls help thank you. Find the value of the expression use estimation to check your answer ​
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

2.) 2703

4.) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

2.)

5327 - 2624 = ?

We subtract from left to right to get;

(7 - 4 = 3) then (2 - 2 = 0) then carrying  1 from 5, (13 - 6 = 7) and (4 - 2 = 2)

So writing the answer;

2 then 7 then 0 then 3

i.e Answer = 2703

4.)

648 ÷ 72 = ?

72 × 10 = 720

So we must multiply 72 by a number less than 10 since 720 > 648

We should look for a number such that 2 in 72 times the number should give an answer with 8 in the end.

Such a number can be 9;

Manually multiplying 72 and 9 we get 648 and we are right!

Please help with an explanation​
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

the answer is incorrect though  the first step is correct but the second step is wrong and so is the answer. the correct answer would be x raise to the power of 2by 5

Step-by-step explanation:

{x⁶/⁵⁻²/⁵} ¹/²= {x⁴/⁵}¹/²= x²/⁵

in the second step the power of the denominator must be subtracted from the power of the numerator using the law of indices then we would get the correct answer
