koban [17]

Answer:

7.22 x 10^5

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the decimal is always to the right of the ones place.

1. Move it one place to the left and multiply by 10 to compensate.

2. Move it two places to left and multiply by 10^2.

3. Move the decimal point three times and multiply 10^3 to compensate, and the pattern continues until you reach the very last digit, the 7.

4. Numbers after the 7 that are not zeros will be after the decimal point.

so, 7.22 x 10^5

Renee is simplifying the expression (7) (StartFraction 13 over 29 EndFraction) (StartFraction 1 over 7 EndFraction). She recogni

dsp73

Answer:

The correct option is commutative property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that Renee is simplifying is:

$(7)\cdot(\frac{13}{29})\cdot(\frac{1}{7})$

It is provided that, Renee recognizes that 7 and $\frac{1}{7}$ are reciprocals, so she would like to find their product before she multiplies by $\frac{13}{29}$ .

The associative property of multiplication states that:

$a\times b\times c=(a\times b)\times c=a\times (b\times c)$

The commutative property of multiplication states that:

$a\times b\times c=a\times c\times b=c\times a\times b$

The distributive property of multiplication states that:

$a\cdot (b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c$

The identity property of multiplication states that:

$a\times 1=a\\b\times 1=b$

So, Renee should use the commutative property of multiplication to find the product of 7 and $\frac{1}{7}$ ,

$(7)\cdot(\frac{13}{29})\cdot(\frac{1}{7})=(7\times\frac{1}{7})\times\frac{13}{29}=\frac{13}{29}$

Thus, the correct option is commutative property.

Use completing the square to solve x^2+6x=13

lara [203]

Answer:

x = -3 +/- square root(22)

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -b +/- square root(b^2 - 4ac) / 2a

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

these are both the quadratic formula but one is solved for the x and another for 0

a= 1

b= 6

c = -13

x= -6 +/- square root( 6^2 - 4(1)(13)) / 2(1)

x = -6 +/- sqrt( 36 + 52) / 2

x= -6 +/- sqrt (88) / 2

sqrt of 88 = 2 x sqrt (22)

divide 2 on each

x= -3 +/- sqrt (22)

Juan and Nina are in the Junior High Orchestra. As part of the orchestra they each have to learn two instruments. Juan is learni

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Nina practiced the viola for 11.25 hours last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Juan practiced the violin for 9 hours last week. For each 3 hours that he practices the violin, he practices 2.5 hours of cello. So

3h violin - 2.5h cello

9h violin - xh cello

$3x = 9*2.5$

$x = 7.5$

He practiced 7.5 hours of cello, the same as Nina.

For every 3 hours Nina spends practicing the viola she practices the cello for 2 hours. So:

3h viola - 2h cello

xh viola - 7.5h cello

$2x = 3*7.5$

$x = 7.5*1.5$

$x = 11.25$

Nina practiced the viola for 11.25 hours last week.
