Answer:

C. Yes, the number is written in scientific notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a number $5.6\times 10^{12}$ . We are asked to determine whether our given number is written in scientific notation or not.

We know that when a number greater than 1 and less than 10 is multiplied by a power of 10, then the number is written in scientific notation.

Upon looking at our given number we can see the number 5.6 is between 1 and 10. In addition, 5.6 is being multiplied by 10 to the power 12.

Therefore, our given number is written in scientific notation and option C is the correct choice..

The <u>correct answer</u> is C) yes, the answer is written in scientific notation.

Explanation:

In scientific notation, we have a decimal number multiplied by a power of 10. The decimal number has the decimal point behind the first non-zero digit, and the exponent on the power of 10 tells us how many places to move the decimal.

In this problem, we have 5.6, which has the decimal after the first non-zero digit. We also have 10¹², which tells us to move the decimal 12 places.

This is in scientific notation.

The equation $y=-4.9t^2+3.5t+5$ describes the height (in meters) of a ball thrown upward at $3.5$ meters per second from $5$ met

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The position function is

$s(t)=-4.9t^2+3.5t+5$ and if we are looking for the time t it takes for the ball to hit the ground, we are looking for the height of the ball when it is on the ground. Of course the height of anything on the ground is 0, so if we set s(t) = 0 and solve for t, we will find our answer.

$0=-4.9t^2+3.5t+5$ and factor that however you are currently factoring in class to get that

t = -.71428 seconds or

t = 1.42857 seconds (neither one of those is rational so they can't be expressed as fractions).

We all know that time will never be a negative value, so the time it takes this ball to hit the ground is

1.42857 seconds (round how you need to).

.A bag contains 3 red checkers and 5 black checkers. A checker is selected, kept out of the bag, and then another checker is sel

cupoosta [38]

Answer: 15 / 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red checkers = 3

Number of black checkers = 5

Total number of checkers = 8

P(black, then red) = 5/8 × 3/7 = 15/56

We should note that the probability to pick a black checker first will be 5 out of 8. Then, there'll be 7 checkers left and the probability to pick a res checker will be 3/7. We then multiply the probabality of each together.

Use the graph below to determine a1 and d for the sequence.

Rama09 [41]

A1 would be the first y value, which is 3 and d is the ratio ( distance between each y value) which is 3 ( add 3 to the y value to get the next one)

The answer is a1= 2, d = 3
