<span>D) 9.0 x 10^10 km This is more an exercise in handling scientific notation than anything else. Since we have the distance that light travels in 1 second and we want to calculate how far it travels in 5 minutes, we must first calculate how many seconds are in 5 minutes. Simply multiplying 5 by 60 gives us 300 seconds. Now we need to multiply 300 by 3.0x10^8 km. So 300 * 3.0x10^8 = ? We could first convert 300 into scientific notion, but it's easier to just leave it along and assume that it's 300 x 10^0. So 300 times 3 is 900. And since 0 plus 8 is 8, we have as the answer: 900 x 10^8 But we're not done. The significand has to be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. So let's divide 900 by 100 and add 2 to the exponent. So we get 9 x 10^10 Finally, since our data had 2 significant figures, our result should have that as well. So let's add the 2nd digit getting: 9.0 x 10^10 So we know that light travels 9.0x10^10 km in 5 minutes, and that answer matches option "D" from the available choices.</span>

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

147 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

all the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. so, you must perform the operation 180-(83+64) which equals 33. this is the angle supplementary to angle 1. to find angle 1, you must subtract 180 and 33 since supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. this is equal to 147 degrees.

1. Use the FOIL method (x+9)(x+9)
First, outer, inner, last
x^{2} +9x+9x+81
Add your like terms
x^{2} +18x+81

2. When you add or subtract polynomials you add or subtract the like terms and then put them in order from largest to smallest exponents.

3. -5x(5 x^{3} +10 x^{2} -6x+3)

4. Since it is the perimeter, we add the 3 together.
(2 x^{2} +4x-3)+(-3 x^{2} -3)+(5x+19)
Add the like terms together:
2 x^{2} +(-3 x^{2} )=- x^{2}  \\ 4x+5x=9x \\ -8+(-3)+19=8
Put them in order of exponents
- x^{2} +9x+8

Hope this helps

Robert accepted a new job at a company with a contract guaranteeing annual raises. Let S represent Robert's salary after working
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

74,000

Step-by-step explanation:

In the year where he got 104,000 the year before he got 6,000 less. The year before 98,000 he got 12,000 less which means that now it would just be 86,000-12,000=74,000

I think this is right but you can double check on a calculator

Hope this helped!
