<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>

Solve the equation below for x. <br> 500 = 25e ^ (2x)
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

x = i π n + log(20)/2 for n element Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

500 = 25 e^(2 x)

500 = 25 e^(2 x) is equivalent to 25 e^(2 x) = 500:

25 e^(2 x) = 500

Divide both sides by 25:

e^(2 x) = 20

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

2 x = 2 i π n + log(20) for n element Z

Divide both sides by 2:

Answer: x = i π n + log(20)/2 for n element Z

What is the slope for (2, -1) and (3,1)
ale4655 [162]

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

m = y2 - y1 /   x2- x1

where slope is m,

so in this case it would be

m= 1-(-1) / 3-2

m=2/1

m=2

Note that you can do it either way

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

\frac{1}{6}*\frac{4}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

A 6 sided die has 6 outcomes.

Your sister picks from a 13 - slice plate meaning the fact that there are 13 outcomes.

There are 4 yellow slices so picking a yellow slice has a \frac{4}{13} chance

You need to mutiply both displayed values to solve this problem.

\frac{1}{6}*\frac{4}{13}
