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

Answer:

b = 6 sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

3^2 + b^2 = 9^2

9+b^2 = 81

b^2 = 81-9

b^2 = 72

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(72)

b = sqrt(36*2)

b = 6 sqrt(2)

Hey there (again)

$x = 2y \\ y = -2 \\ x = 2(-2) \\x= -4 \\ \\ \\ w + xy + 4x^2 = 2\\ w+-4(-2) + 3(-4)^2 = 2 \\ w + 8 + 3(16) = 2 \\ w + 8 + 48 = 2 \\ Subtract56: w + 56 =2 \\ 56 - 56 (Cancel) \\ 2 - 56 = -54 \\ w = -54$

Answer: $B$ the simplification performed in step 2 is invalid or incorrect

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day
