The larger value is 9 x 10^9
The smaller value is 3 x 10^(-4)
Divide the larger over the smaller
Doing so will have you divide the coefficients 9 and 3 (numbers in front of the "times ten to the..." portions) to get 9/3 = 3.
Then you'll also subtract the exponents: 9 minus (-4) = 9 - (-4) = 9 + 4 = 13
In summary so far, we got a coefficient of 3 and an exponent of 13
So the final answer is 3 x 10^13 (assuming you want scientific notation)
If you want to convert to standard notation, instead of scientific notation, move the decimal point in 3.0 thirteen spots to the right to get
30,000,000,000,000
there are 13 zeros (four groups of 3 plus one just after the 3) in that value above. This is the number 30 trillion
Using the <em>system of equation</em> created, Emily will catch up Lucy after 30 seconds
Given the Parameters :
- Lucy's distance = 2t
- Emily's distance = 5t
<u>We can set up an equation to represent the required scenario thus</u> :
Emily's distance = Lucy's distance + 90
5t = 2t + 90
We solve for t
<em>Collect like terms</em> :
5t - 2t = 90
3t = 90
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate t
t = 90/3
t = 30
Therefore, Emily will catch up with Lucy after 30 seconds
