Answer:

Jupiter is about 5.6 times further from the Sun than the Earth is from the Sun.      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The distance from the Earth to the Sun = 90,000,000 miles

Converting it into scientific form:

90,000,000 = 9\times 10^7\\\text{Comparing to } 9\times 10^a\\\Rightarrow a=7

The distance from Jupiter to the Sun = 500,000,000 miles

Converting it into scientific form:

500,000,000 = 5\times 10^8\\\text{Comparing to } 5\times 10^b\\\Rightarrow b=8

Distance of Jupiter from the Sun and the Earth  from the Sun =

\displaystyle\frac{\text{Distance between Jupiter and Sun}}{\text{Distance between Earth and Sun}}\\\\=\frac{5\times 10^8}{9\times 10^7} = 5.55 \appox 5.6

Hence, Jupiter is about 5.6 times further from the Sun than the Earth is from the Sun.

10*a = 10000000

a = 1000000, one million

5*10*b = 500000000

b = 10000000, ten million

About ten times.

Determine, to one decimal place, the length, width & height of the rectangular prism that would have the greatest volume, wi
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The length = The width = The height  ≈ 5.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular pyramid, V = l × w × h

The surface area of the pyramid = 2 × l × h + 2 × w × h + 2 × l × w = 200

∴  l × h + w × h + l × w = 200/2 = 100

We have that the maximum volume is given when the length, width, and height are equal and one length is not a fraction of the other. Therefore, we get;

At maximum volume, l = w = h

∴ l × h + w × h + l × w = 3·l² = 100

l² = 100/3

l = 10/√3

Therefore, the volume, v = l³ = (10/√3)³

The length = The width = The height = 10/√3 cm ≈ 5.8 cm

If the slope of a line is -1 and two points on the line are (-9, 3) and (-10, r), what is the value of r?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

r=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope of the line is -1.

We also know that the line passes through (-9, 3) and (-10, r).

We want to find the value of r.

First, let's figure out the equation of our line. We can use the point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point.

So, let's substitute -1 for m. Since we know the point (-9, 3), let's use this for (x₁, y₁).

Substitute:

y-(3)=-1(x-(-9))

Simplify:

y-3=-(x+9)

Distribute:

y-3=-x-9

Add 3 to both sides. So, our equation is:

y=-x-6

It passes through (-10, r) and we want to find the value of r. So, let's substitute -10 for x and r for y, since -10 is our x and r is our y. So:

r=-(-10)-6

Evaluate for r. Distribute:

r=10-6

Subtract:

r=4

So, the value of r is 4.

And we're done!
