<span>A+B)^2 is the largest. It is A^2+2AB+B^2, which is clearly greater than the last two options. To compare (A+B)^2 and 2(A+B), we remove one A+B so that we're just comparing A+B and 2. As A+B must be at least 3 (as both must be positive integers, and one must be greater than the other, leading to a minimum value of A=2, B=1), A+B is greater than 2, and as a result, (A+B)^2 is always the largest.</span>
Answer:
x=54
Step-by-step explanation:
these two angles are supplementary to each other. this is because alternate interior angles are congruent, and 2x+42 degrees is supplementary to the alternate interior angle of x-24 degrees. so, we can add these two numbers up and set it equal to 180.
2x+42+x-24=180
3x+18=180
3x=162
x=54
if this question is asking for x, 54 is the answer. if it is asking for the angle measures, plug in 54 for x for each angle and solve.
What this question simply asks about is you write the numbers it gave you in only one digit by 10 to the power of n. Where n represents the number of shifts of the decimal point.
And to get this number to be one digit, then you have to approximate.
To approximate; you should always consider that less than 5 counts zero and 5 or more counts+1.
Example:
5.3 is approximately 5
5.5 is approx. 6
5.9 is also approx. 6
and so on.
So the final answers are;
1) 4*10^13
2) 5*10^-11
Please note that 10^positive integer will cause the decimal point to move to the right which means a number greater than 1, usually, while 10^negative integer means number smaller than 1, usually.
Hope this helps.
