When translating a number to the scientific notion (ex: 0.000157), do you count the zero to the left of the decimal point? Like

would the scientific notion of 0.000157 be 1.57 x 10^-4 ? If you could explain how scientific notion works that be great. thanks

Yeah, you’re right, I like to think that when the number is a decimal and I have to put it in scientific notation the exponent next to the 10 is negative and then when the number is a whole number and I have to change it to scientific notation then the exponent next to the ten is positive.

Answer:

You do not count the zero to the left of the decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

That zero is just a placeholder as there is nothing to the left of the decimal, you could also write the number as .000157

Your answer is correct, 0.000157 is 1.57x10^-4

Scientific notation is just expressing numbers in their exponential form. The power/exponent is found by counting how many times the decimal has moved to the right or the left.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

209.005 gms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the weights of packets of cookies produced by a certain manufacturer have a Normal distribution with a mean of 202 grams and a standard deviation of 3 grams.

Let X be the weight of packets of cookies produced by manufacturer

X is N(202, 3) gms.

To find the  weight that should be stamped on the packet so that only 1% of the packets are underweight

i.e. P(X<c) <0.01

From std normal table we find that z value = 2.335

Corresponding x value = 202+3(2.335)

=209.005 gms.

Line A goes through the points (1, 5) and (-1, 9). Line B goes through the points (0, 2) and (4, -6). Which of the following sta
Delvig [45]
B is correct. Explanation Below:
---
Line A never intersects Line B, as they are parallel lines-the slopes are the same-and parallel lines never intersect. 
Line A's Slope: (9-5)/(-1-1) = -2
Line B's Slope: (-6-2)/(4-0) = -2

Rewrite in simplest rational exponent form x^1/2*X^1/4
jasenka [17]

Answer:

\sqrt[4]{x^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's examine our original statement.

x^{\frac{1}{2} }\cdot x^{\frac{1}{4}}

Using exponent rules, we know that if we have x^a \cdot x^b, then simplified, the answer will be equivalent to x^{a+b}.

So we can simplify this by adding the exponents \frac{1}{2} and \frac{1}{4}.

Converting  \frac{1}{2} into fourths gets us \frac{2}{4}.

\frac{2}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}.

So we now have x^{\frac{3}{4}}.

When we have a number to a fraction power, it's the same thing as taking the denominator root of the base to the numerator power.

Basically, this becomes

\sqrt[4]{x^3}. (The numerator is what we raise x to the power of, the denominator is the root we take of that).

Hope this helped!
