2.0x10^-5 or 2.0E-5 —this is because as a small decimal number, you move the decimal to the right five spaces and then add a negative to the decimal to indicate that when you translate back (from scientific notation to 0.00002) you will move the decimal to the left

Answer:

2\times10^{-5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an egg of a certain kind of insect called a Tachinidae is 0.00002 meters long. We are asked to write the length in scientific notation.

To write a number in scientific, we need to factors. One factor is between 0 and 10 and second is a power of 10.

The first factor will be 2.

Since our given number has 5 digits after decimal, so we will multiply 2 by 1 divided by 10 to the fifth power.

0.00002=2\times\frac{1}{10^5}

Using exponent property \frac{1}{a^m}=a^{-m}, we can write our expression as:

0.00002=2\times10^{-5}

Therefore, the length in scientific notation would be 2\times10^{-5}.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

18. y-(-2) = -6(x-2)

y+2 = -6x+12

y = -6x+12-2

y = -6x+10

19. y-(-4) = -½(x-4)

y+4 = -½x+2

y = -½x+2-4

y = -½x-2

Find the area and perimeter
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Part 1) The perimeter is P=172\pi\ ft

Part 2) The area is A=1,204\pi\ ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the perimeter

we know that

The perimeter is equal to the circumference of the exterior circle plus the circumference of the interior circle

so

P=2\pi (50)+2\pi (36)

P=2\pi (86)\\P=172\pi\ ft

Part 2) Find the area

we know that

The area of the figure is equal to the area of the larger circle minus the area of the smaller circle

so

A=\pi (50)^2-\pi (36)^2

A=\pi (1,204)

A=1,204\pi\ ft^2
