When numbers are very small or very large, it is convenient to either express the value in scientific notation and/or by using a

prefix with the unit.
A pain-relieving pill has a mass of 0.005 g. Express the pill’s mass in grams using scientific notation or in milligrams.

\boxed{ \ 5.0 \times 10^{-3} \ grams \rightarrow 5.0 \ milligrams \ }

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Scientific notation represents the precise way scientists handle exceptionally abundant digits or extremely inadequate numbers in the product of a decimal form of number and powers of ten.  

Put differently, such numbers can be rewritten as a simple number multiplied by 10 raised to a certain exponent or power. It is a system for expressing extremely broad or exceedingly narrow digits compactly.

Scientific notation should be in the form of  

\boxed{ \ a \times 10^n \ }

where  

\boxed{ \ 1 \leq a \ < 10 \ }

The number "a" is called "mantissa" and the exponent "n" the order of magnitude.

The exponent tells about the size of the number.

  • A positive exponent indicates a number greater than or equal to 1.
  • A negative exponent indicates a number between 0 and 1.

From the key questions asked, we face the standard form of 0.005 grams which will be converted into scientific notation.  

0.005 = \frac{5}{1,000}

  • The coefficient (or mantissa) is 5, which has fulfilled the interval 1 ≤ a < 10.  
  • The denominator consists precisely of three zero digits.

Hence, 0.005 grams is written in scientific notation as  \boxed{ \ 5.0 \times 10^{-3} \ grams \ }

Because 1 milligrams is equal to 10^{- 3} grams, then

5.0 \times 10^{-3} \ grams \times \frac{1 \ milligrams}{10^{-3} \ grams}

Hence, 0,005 grams is 5.0 milligrams.

In science, we frequently must deal with extremely small or incredibly large quantities. For a typical example, one of the recognized limitations of the microwave frequency is 300,000,000 Hz with a photon energy of 0.00000124 eV. They with many zeros can be impractical to work with, so scientists properly implement scientific notation.

The inverse of scientific notation is the standard form. To promptly change scientific notation into standard form, we reverse the process, move the decimal point to the right or left. This expanded form is called the standard form.

\boxed{ \ 3.0 \times 10^{8} \ Hz \ \rightarrow 300,000,000 \ Hz \ or \ 300 \ MHz \ }

\boxed{ \ 0.00000124 \ eV \ \rightarrow 1.24 \times 10^{-6} \ eV \ or \ 1.24 \ \mu eV \ }

Anyone know? Will mark brainliest if correct! ​
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

A) Horsepower is the independent variable

D)  The scatter plot shows a negative correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent variable goes on the x-axis, it does not depend on another.

In this case, horsepower is the independent variable.

Negative correlation is a relationship between two variables in which one variable increases as the other decreases.

In this case, the scatter plot shows a negative correlation.

PLEASE HELP!!! here are two different strategies to find the new price of a hat after a discount of 40%. The hat was originally
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1: Calculate 40% discount on original price, then subtract discount from original price.

Amount of discount = 40% of $30

= 0.40 × $30

= $12

New price = $30 - $12 = $18

Method 2:

New price = (100% - discount percentage) of original price

= 60% of original price

= 0.60 × $30

= $18
