Find the quotient of 2,300 and (0.4 · 10-8). In your final answer, include all of your calculations.

1 answer:

5 0

The first number in this item can be also expressed as 2.3 x 10³. Now, dividing the numbers 2.3 and 0.4 will give us an answer of 5.75. There exists a rule which states that when two similar numbers are divided only having different exponents, their exponents should be subtracted. The final answer to this item is therefore,
5.75 x 10¹¹

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer: 34%.

By definition of normal distribution, ≈68% of the data is within 1 standard deviation of the mean. Therefore 68% of IQs are between 85 and 115, and half of that is on the lower end, 85 to 100.

Find the value of B - A if the graph of Ax + By = 3 passes through the point (-7, 2), and is parallel to the graph x + 3y = -5.

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

$B - A = -6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Point: (-7,2)

x + 3y = -5

Required

Find B- - A in Ax + By = 3

To start with; we need to calculate the slope of x + 3y = -5

$x + 3y = -5$

Subtract x from both sides

$x - x + 3y = -5 - x$

$3y = -5 - x$

Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3y}{3} = -\frac{5}{3} - \frac{x}{3}$

$y = -\frac{5}{3} - \frac{x}{3}$

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x

Slope = $- \frac{1}{3}$

The question says line Ax + By = 3 is parallel to line x + 3y = -5; This means that they have the same slope of $- \frac{1}{3}$

Having calculated the slope, next is to calculate the equation of the line using the following formula;

$m = \frac{y - y_1}{x - x_1}$

Where m is the slope; m = $- \frac{1}{3}$ ; $(x_1, y_1) = (-7,2)$

Substitute these values in the formula above; the formula becomes

$-\frac{1}{3} = \frac{y - 2}{x - -7}$

$-\frac{1}{3} = \frac{y - 2}{x +7}$

Cross Multiply

$-1(x+7) = 3(y-2)$

Open brackets

$-x - 7 = 3y - 6$

Add x to both sides

$x - x - 7 = 3y - 6 + x$

$-7 = 3y - 6 +x$

Add 6 to both sides

$-7 + 6 = 3y -6 + 6 + x$

$-1 = 3y + x$

Multipby both sides by -3

$-3(-1) = -3(3y + x)$

$3 = -9y - 3x$

$-9y - 3x = 3$

$-3x - 9y = 3$

Comparing the above to Ax + By = 3

$Ax = -3x\\A = -3$

$By = -9y\\B = -9$

$B - A = -9 - (-3)$

$B - A = -9 + 3$

$B - A = -6$

A barrel of oil was filled at a constant rate of 7.9 gal/min. The barrel had 12 gallons before filling began.

jenyasd209 [6]

The equation that models this situation is z = 7.9y + 12.

A linear equation is a function that has a single variable raised to the power of 1. An example is x = 4y + 2.

Where:

2 is the constant
x = dependent variable
y = independent variable

From the equation given, 12 would be the constant, the independent variable would be 7.9 and z would be the dependent variable.

z = 7.9y + 12

Here is the complete question: A barrel of oil was filled at a constant rate of 7.9 gal/min. The barrel had 12 gallons before filling began. write an equation in standard form to model the linear situation.
