Answer:

4\times 10^{-2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have bee a number 0.037854921. We are asked to estimate the number to the nearest hundredth and and express answer as a single digit times a power of 10.

Round to nearest hundredth (two decimals after decimal):

0.037854921\approx 0.04 (Thousandths digit is greater than 5; round up)

Now, we will write 0.04 as a fraction.

0.04\times\frac{100}{100}=\frac{4}{100}

Write 100 as a power of 10:

\frac{4}{100}=\frac{4}{10^2}

Using exponent rule \frac{1}{a^m}=a^{-m}, we will get:

\frac{4}{10^2}=4\times 10^{-2}

Therefore, our required number in scientific notation would be 4\times 10^{-2}.

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. Let's round the value to the nearest hundredth. As you can see, the digit 8 is in the thousandths place and is greater than 5, therefore, you must round up to 0.038.

2. Now express the value as a single digit times a power of 10, as following:

38x10^{-3}

Therefore, the answer is: 38x10^{-3}

Solve the following system of liner equations:
nexus9112 [7]
First we get the value of y in terms of x

We have 2x + y + 9 = 0

We transpose 2x and 9 to the other side so we could get the value of y being:
y = - 2x - 9

Now that we have the value of y we can substitute it to the first equation
6x - 3y + 10 = 0
6x - 3 (-2x - 9) + 10 = 0
Simplifying the inside of the parentheses we would have
6x - (3)(-2x) - (3)(-9) + 10 =0
6x + 6x + 27 + 10 = 0

Combining similar terms we would get
12x + 37 = 0
We transpose 37 to the other side for easier simplification
12x = - 37
We divide both sides by 12 to get the value of x
12x/12 = - 37/12
Since 12/12 is equal to 1 our value of x would be
x = - 37/12
Or simply x = - 3.0833

Now that we know the value of x we can use it to obtain the value of y
y = - 2x - 9
y = - 2(-37/12) - 9
y = 37/6 - 9
y = - 17/6
Or in decimal y = - 2.8333

Final values of x and y would be
x = - 3.0833
y = - 2.8333

If I have a shirt that's 15 dollars how do I take 20% off the price
Leno4ka [110]

Well, first find out what 20% of $15 is.

20% x $15 = $3

Take that from the original price.

$15-$3=$12
