$If \ log_q(xy)=3, \ then \ log_qx+log_qy=3 \ . . . . . \ (1) \\ If \ log_q(x^2y^3)=4, \ then \ log_qx^2+log_qy^3=2log_qx+3log_qy=4 \ . . . . . \ (2) \\ From \ (1), \ log_qx=3-log_qy \\ substituting \ for \ log_qx \ in \ (2) \ gives: \\ 2(3-log_qy)+3log_qy=4 \\ 6-2log_qy+3log_qy=4 \\ \\ Therefore, \ log_qy=4-6=-2; \ and \\ log_qx=3-log_qy=3-(-2)=3+2=5$

Mary stated that 2.01 x 10⁶ is less than 4.8 x 10⁴ because 2.01 is less than 4.8. what was mary's mistake ?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is always written as a number between 1 and 9.9999999 repeating. There follows a power of 10. I'm not sure which answer would help you see it clearer but

4.8 * 10^4 the decimal is shifted 4 places the right which is 48000 where you have no numbers, you use zeros.

2.01 * 10^6 means that you shift the decimal 6 places to the right.

2010000

So 2 million is larger than 48 thousand.

The other way to do it is just to look at the power. 6 is more than 4. 6 describes the number of places you move. So does 4. 6>4 so that's the larger number.

Find the slope of the line through the pair of points. A(2, 3), P(2, 9)

AVprozaik [17]

$A(x_1;\ y_1);\ B(x_2;\ y_2)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\-------------------\\\\A(2;\ 3)\to x_1=2\ and\ y_1=3\\B(2;9)\to x_2=2\ and\ y_2=9\\\\m=\dfrac{9-3}{2-2}=\dfrac{7}{0}-divided\ by\ 0\\\\Answer:\ The\ slope\ unde fined. It's\ a\ vertical\ line\ x=2.$
