Scientific notation is shorthand for writing really big or really small numbers. Without it we could not do certain calculations because there would be just too many digits and it would be tedious.

For example:
writing out the numbers in standard form..
1,440,000,000 ÷ 0.0000012 = ???
= 1,200,000,000,000,000

Scientific notation...
144×10^7 ÷ 12×10^-7 = 12×10^14

An object is launched from a launching pad 208 ft. above the ground at a velocity of 192ft/sec. what is the maximum height reach
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

h(x) = -16x² + 192x + 208

784ft

6 sec

13 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

h(x) = -16x² +vx + h_{o}

here v represent velocity

         h_{o} represent initial height of launch

       

h(x) = -16x² + 192x + 208

b)

h(x) = -16x² + 192x + 208

here a = -16

        b = 192

        c = 208

x = -b/2a

  = -192/2(-16)

  = 6

plug this value in the equation

h(x) = -16(6)² + 192(6) + 208

      = 784ft

e)

Plug h(x)=0 in the equation

0 = -16x² + 192x + 208

divide equation by -16

x² - 12x - 13 = 0

Factors

1x * -13x = -13

1x - 13x = -12

Factorised form

x² - 12x - 13 = 0

x² + x - 13x - 13 = 0

x(x+1) -13(x+1) = 0

(x+1)(x-13) = 0

x = -1

x = 13

Since time can not be negative so we will reject x = -1

Use the equation Y= 11 - 5X to find y when x=7.
kap26 [50]
Plug in x = 7. Then use the order of operations (PEMDAS) to simplify
y = 11 - 5*x
y = 11 - 5*7 .... x has been replaced with 7 (since x = 7 is given)
y = 11 - 35
y = -24
