Briefly describe scientific notation. how is it useful for writing large and small numbers? how is it useful for making approx
1 answer:
Scientific notation, also called pattern or notation in exponential form, is a way of writing numbers that accommodate values too large (100000000000) or small (0.00000000001) to be written in a conventional manner.
The use of this notation is based on powers of 104
Example:
Big numbers:
Small numbers:
However, in areas such as physics and chemistry, scientific notation is important to make approximations such as:
mass of a proton
mass of an electron and others.

Based on the docx you showed me, the equation for the parabola is 
and you want a table of values for a linear equation that intersects the parabola at (5, 6) and (-2, 34).
If you use these two points to create a line we get the equation:
(I just used point slope form)
This can be simplified to:
Now we just need to create a table of points on this line. We already have the points you gave and we can also use the y-intercept:
and the x-intercept: 
.
So our table of value can be:
x | y
______|________
-2 | 34
0 | 242 / 7
5 | 6
121/20 | 0
