We can either convert to standard form first or convert to a common multiplier, kinda like a common denominator. The latter makes more sense if they wanted the result in scientific notation, but let's do it that way anyway.
a)
4.5 × 10⁴ + 3.8 × 10³ = 45 × 10³ + 3.8 × 10³ = 48.8× 10³ = 48,800
Answer: 48,800
b)
4.5 × 10⁴ - 3.8 × 10³ = 45 × 10³ - 3.8 × 10³ = 41.2× 10³ = 41,200
Answer: 41,200
c)
7.2 × 10⁻³ + 6.3 × 10⁻² = 7.2 × 10⁻³ + 63 × 10⁻³ = 70.2 × 10⁻³
= 7.02 × 10⁻² = 0.0702
Answer: 0.0702
Answer:
Wikipedia defines polynomials as "<em>an expression consisting of variables and coefficients</em>."
You would think that F(x) would not be a polynomial, but you could think of it like this:
F(x) = 0x + 1050
So, yes, I suppose constant terms by themselves are polynomials, it's just that they only have one term and would not really be called a <em>poly</em>-nomial.
You should probably research some more just in case.
As you progress in math, it will become increasingly important that you know how to express exponentiation properly.
y = 2x3 – x2 – 4x + 5 should be written <span>y = 2^x3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5. The
" ^ " symbol denotes exponentiation.
I see you're apparently in middle school. Is that so? If so, are you taking calculus already? If so, nice!
Case 1: You do not yet know calculus and have not differentiated or found critical values. Sketch the function </span>y = 2x^3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5, including the y-intercept at (0,5). Can you identify the intervals on which the graph appears to be increasing and those on which it appears to be decreasing?
Case 2: You do know differentiation, critical values and the first derivative test. Differentiate y = 2x^3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5 and set the derivative = to 0:
dy/dx = 6x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0. Reduce this by dividing all terms by 2:
dy/dx = 3x^2 - x - 2 = 0 I used synthetic div. to determine that one root is x = 2/3. Try it yourself. This leaves the coefficients of the other factor, (3x+3); this other factor is x = 3/(-3) = -1. Again, you should check this.
Now we have 2 roots: -1 and 2/3
Draw a number line. Locate the origin (0,0). Plot the points (-1, 0) and (2/3, 0). This subdivides the number line into 3 subintervals:
(-infinity, -1), (-1, 2/3) and (2/3, infinity).
Choose a test number from each interval and subst. it for x in the derivative formula above. If the derivative comes out +, the function is increasing on that interval; if -, the function is decreasing.
Ask all the questions you want, if this explanation is not sufficiently clear.
Answer:
ABCDEFG = 3211000
Step-by-step explanation:
A counts the number of zeroes, and there are 3 zeroes (E, F, G), so A = 3.B counts the number of ones, and there are 2 ones (C, D), so B = 2.C counts the number of twos, and there is 1 two (B), so C = 1.D counts the number of threes, and there is 1 three (A), so D = 1.There is no four, five, six in, so E, F, G are all zeroes.
