the quickest way to do this would be to multiply 1,375 by 3 and then add 2.
1,375 * 3 = 4,125 + 2 = 4,127
correct!
There is no difference. Both mean the same measurement except that 1.050 is presented in 4 significant figure and 1.05 in 3 significant figure.
11. Take the logarithm, base X.
a² - ab = 10
Since we are given that b = a - 2, we can substitute for b to get
a² - a(a -2) = 10
a² - a² + 2a = 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
a = 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify, divide by 2
_____
Check: a² = 5² = 25
ab = 5·3 = 15
X^25/X^15 = X^10 . . . . . the answer works
X-y=5
x times y= 84
-7 and -12
