In mathematics multiplying decimals is just like multiplying a whole number and ignoring the decimals., then just put the decimals in the answer – it is how many decimals does the two numbers combined.
First step:
Line the numbers on the right and do not a line the decimal points
26.2
× 16.43
Second Step:
Multiply the numbers starting on the right, just like multiplying a whole number and ignore the decimals.
26.2
<span> × 16.43</span>
786
1048
1572
<span>+ 262 </span>
430466
Third step: add the products
26.2
<span> × 16.43</span>
786
1048
1572
<span>+ 262 </span>
430.466 is the mathematician’s answer.
Answer:
Second Attempt is faster.
Step-by-step explanation:
He reads 360 words in 
hour in the first attempt and in the second attempt he reads the same number of words in 
hour.
Since, 
he takes less time in the second time. Less time means the work is done faster.
Therefore, second attempt is faster.
Short answer: I don't know, but that doesn't mean I can't give you something that you can decide for yourself.
y = 4*2^(2n - 2) is the pattern.
Go for broke. Try n = 4. You should get 256. Let's try it.
y = 4 * 2^(2*4 - 2)
y = 4 * 2^(8 - 2)
y = 4 * 2^6
y = 4 * 64
y = 256 yup it works.
The other end is just as important. Suppose n = 1
Then y = 4 * 2^(2*1 - 2) = 4 * 2^0 = 4*1 = 4 Both work.
If this formula is correct, we can abbreviate it to make your task easier.
y = 4 * 2^(2n - 2)
y = 2^2 * 2^(2n - 2)
y = 2^(2n - 2 + 2)
y = 2^(2n) Now try the two end points again.
n = 4
y = 2^(2*4)
y = 2^8
y = 256
n = 1
y = 2^(2*1)
y = 2^2
y = 4 which again checks.
so y = 2^(2n) I think is an exponential function.
Sorry my explanation is so long.
You distribute the negative in the second equation
