Answer:9.072×10³

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is said to be written in a scientific notation or standard form if it is expressed in the form a×10n where 1 is less than or equal to a and a is less than 10 and n is an integer

9072 is more than 10

So 9072÷10=907.2

Still 907.2 is more than 10

So 907.2÷10=90.72

Still 90.72 is more than 10

So 90.72÷10=9.072

9.072 is less than 10

We divided 9072 by 1000 and 1000 as a power of ten is 10³

So the answer is 9.072×10³

Solve the equation x+3/x-4 = x-5/x+4
Serga [27]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{1}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{x+3}{x-4}=\dfrac{x-5}{x+4}\\\\\text{Domain:}\ x-4\neq0\ \wedge\ x+4\neq0\\\\x\neq4\ \wedge\ x\neq-4\\\\D:x\in\mathbb{R}-\{-4,\ 4\}

\dfrac{x+3}{x-4}=\dfrac{x-5}{x+4}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\(x+3)(x+4)=(x-4)(x-5)\qquad\text{use FOIL}\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\(x)(x)+(x)(4)+(3)(x)+(3)(4)=(x)(x)+(x)(-5)+(-4)(x)+(-4)(-5)\\\\x^2+4x+3x+12=x^2-5x-4x+20\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\x^2+(4x+3x)+12=x^2+(-5x-4x)+20\\\\x^2+7x+12=x^2-9x+20\qquad\text{subtract}\ x^2\ \text{from both sides}\\\\7x+12=-9x+20\qquad\text{subtract 12 from both sides}\\\\7x=-9x+8\qquad\text{add}\ 9x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\16x=8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 16}\\\\x=\dfrac{8}{16}\\\\x=\dfrac{8:8}{16:8}\\\\x=\dfrac{1}{2}\in D

Identify the distance between points (−1,7,10) and (6,−3,2), and identify the midpoint of the segment for which these are the en
svetlana [45]

Answer:

d ≈ 14.6 units; M (2.5, 2, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the distance formula for 3-D dimensions, you get the √(213) which equals 14.6

Then, using the midpoint formula for 3-D dimensions, you find the coordinates 2.5 for x, 2 for y, and 6 for z.
