How many significant figures are in the measured value 550,000,000?

Mathematics
1 answer:
NikAS [45]3 years ago
5 0

There are 2 significant figures (sig figs) which are the two '5' digits. The zeros aren't considered sig figs because we can write the number as 5.5 * 10^8 to represent the exact same idea. The 0's are simply placeholders to tell how big the number is, not necessarily how accurate it is. If the 0s were between the decimal point and a nonzero value, then the 0s would be significant. If the 0s were to the right of the decimal, then they would be significant.

Answer: 2

3 + b/9 &lt; 4<br>show work please
Gekata [30.6K]

First, before multiplying to cancel the fraction, let's isolate x by subtracting both sides by 3:

b/9 < 1

To cancel out the fraction, we multiply both sides by 9:

x < 9

A certain book had an original rating of 27 out of 30 points on a survey chart. Each month, the rating fell by 3 points. Express
Natali [406]

Answer:

D.) f(m)=27−3m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Original rating = 27

Total possible rating points = 30

Drop in rating point per month = 3

m = number of months since release :

Hence,

F(m) = original rating - drop in rating per month * number of months since release

F(m) = 27 - 3(m)

F(m) = 27 - 3m
