Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

Their backyard is rectangular, with a length of 3x – 5 feet and a width of 4x – 10 feet. This means that the area of the backyard is

(3x - 5)(4x - 10)

= 12x² - 30x - 20x + 15

= (12x² - 50x + 15) square feet

Their rectangular swimming pool, along with its surrounding patio, has dimensions of x + 8 by x – 2 feet. This means that the area occupied by the swimming pool and its surrounding patio is

(x + 8)(x - 2)

= x² - 2x + 8x - 16

= x² + 6x - 16

Assuming the swimming pool and its surrounding patio will not be covered with new grass, then the area of the region of the yard that they want to cover with new grass is

12x² - 50x + 15 - (x² + 6x - 16)

= 12x² - 50x + 15 - x² - 6x + 16

= 12x² - x² - 50x - 6x + 15 + 16

= 11x² - 56x + 31 square feet

(2 x 106) x (0.00009) = ?
RSB [31]

I think you meant to write

(2 × 10⁶) × 0.00009

First, convert 0.00009 to scientific notation:

0.00009 = 9 × 10 ⁻⁵

Then

(2 × 10⁶) × 0.00009 = (2 × 10⁶) × (9 × 10 ⁻⁵)

… = (2 × 9) × (10⁶ × 10 ⁻⁵)

… = 18 × 10¹

… = 1.8 × 10²
