Answer:

The smallest part of a millimeter that can be read with a digital caliper with a four digit display is 0.02mm. Thus, it has to be converted to centimetre. So, divide by 10, we then have 0.02/10= *0.002cm* not mm.

Please help! What is physical property and what is chemical property?
sladkih [1.3K]
PHysical properties are properties that do not involve changes in the molecular level. In this case, malleability and magnetism are physical. 
Chemical properties involve changes to the substance at the molecular level or change its identity. In this case, reacting with oxygen and nonflammability is a chemical property.

The first few steps in deriving the quadratic formula are shown. Which best explains why is not added to the left side of the eq
bija089 [108]
The term b^2 / 4a^2 is not added to the left side of the equation, because the term that was added to the right was not either b^2 / 4 a^2.

As you can see the ther b^2 / 4a^2 that appears in the last step of the table is inside a parenthesis, which is preceded by factor a.


Then, you need to apply the distributive property to know the term that you are really adding to the right side,  i.e. you need to mulitply b^2 / 4a^2 * a which is b^2 / 4a.


That means that you are really adding b^2 / 4a to the right, so that is the same that you have to add to the left, which is what the last step of the table shows.


That situation is reflected by the statement "<span>The distributive property needs to be applied to determine the value to add to the left side of the equation to balance the sides of the equation".</span>  That is the answer.
