Answer:
a = -2
b = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
5a+3b=11
-2a+3=b
substitute for b:
5a + 3(-2a + 3) = 11
5a -6a + 9 = 11
-a = 2
a = -2
b = 7
The answer is 7.46 , so when rounded, the answer is B
PART A:
Scientific notation is given by A×10ⁿ where A is any number in a unit and 'n' is an integer.
0.000025 = 2.5×10⁻⁵
PART B:
Diameter of grain of sand ÷ Diameter of human body average cell
(2×10⁻⁴) ÷ (1×10⁻⁵)
(2÷1) × (10⁻⁴÷10⁻⁵)
2 × (10⁻⁴ ⁻ ⁻⁵) = 2 × 10⁽⁻⁴⁺⁵⁾ = 2 × 10¹ = 20 times bigger
PART C:
The diameter of human body's average cell in nanometer
1 × 10⁻⁵ metre = 1 × 10⁻⁵ × 10⁹ = 1 × 10⁽⁻⁵⁺⁹⁾ = 1 × 10⁴ nanometer
PART D:
Smallest bacteria = 300 nanometer
300 nm = 300 ÷ 10⁹ = (3 × 10²) ÷ 10⁹ = 3 × (10²⁻⁹) = 3 × 10⁻⁷ meter
PART E:
Laws of exponents that are applied in scientific notation is
xᵇ × xᵃ = x⁽ᵇ⁺ᵃ⁾
xᵇ ÷ xᵃ = x⁽ᵇ⁻ᵃ⁾
