In the example problem, 0.000000005 = 5 x 109. What is the standard form of 10-??

Answer:

5x10^{-9}

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the example is missing the negative sign.

This is an example of scientific notation, which is used to reduce a very large number into a short expression like: 0.000000005, which is reduced in the expression 5x10^{-9}.

It's important to say that the negative sing in the exponent, indicates that all zeros that are being reduce, are placed at the right of the number. Also, to apply a correctly scientific notation, the number reduced should be between 0 and 10.

A Galapagos cactus finch population increases by half every decade. The number of finches is
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The number of fringes at d=-2 is given as 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question

A Galapagos cactus finch population increases by half every decade. The number of finches is modeled by the expression

,

where d is the number of decades after the population was measured. Evaluate the expression for d = −2

Given :

The number of  finches is modeled by the expression  :

⇒ 45\cdot1.5^d

where d is the number of decades after the population was measured.

To evaluate the expression for d=-2

Solution:

In order to evaluate the given expression to find the number of finches at d=-2, we will plugin -2 for d in the expression and simplify it.

Plugging in d=-2 in the expression:

⇒ 45\cdot 1.5^{-2}

Using negative exponent property. [a^{-x}=\frac{1}{a^x}

⇒ 45\cdot \frac{1}{1.5^2}

⇒ 45\cdot \frac{1}{2.25}

⇒ 20   (Answer)

Thus, the number of fringes at d=-2 is given as 20.

This means the number of fringes two decades ago was 20.

a movie theater has 24 screens. the ratio of action films to other films is 1:2 in the summer. how many action films are shown?
stiv31 [10]
12 action films are shown.
This is because if the ratio is 1:2, that means that exactly half of the total amount of movies are action. Thus, to evaluate this problem, you would find half of 24.
24 \div 2 = 12
