Answer:

C. She left out a zero between the two and the five

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Susan is expected to convert 12,050,000 to scientific notation, what Susan should have done is shown below:

Count the number of decimal places from your right up to before the first digit, and place the decimal point after the first digit. The number of decimal places counted would determine the exponent we are to use.

Here, we have 7 decimal places, counting from the right to the left, therefore, the exponent would be a positive 7.

What Susan should have is:

1.205 × 10⁷ NOT 1.25 × 10⁷.

1.25 × 10⁷ = 12,500,000, which is different from 12,050,000.

Her paper was marked wrong because: "she left out a zero between the two and the five"

In the equation 9^2 x 27^3 = 3^x, what is the value of x? <br> Show your work on scratchpaper
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

9^2 * 27^3 = 3^x

We need to get each term with a base of 3

9^2 = (3^2) ^2

We know that a^b^c = a^(b*c)

(3^2) ^2 = 3^(2+2) = 3^4

27^3 = (3^3) ^3 = 3^(3*3) = 3^9

Replacing these in the original equation

3^4 * 3^9 = 3^x

We know that a^b *a^c = a^(b+c)

3^4 * 3^9  =3^(4+9) = 3^13 = 3^x

The bases are the same, so the exponents must be the same

x=13

Boxes are stacked in a warehouse in 15 rows of 25, then stacked 4 boxes high boxes are there in total?
vichka [17]

Answer:

1500

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 15 rows of 25, so 15 x 25 is 375, and we multiply that by 4 since its stacked 4 high. We get 1500.

How to estimate 96 Times 34 what is the answer
Marrrta [24]

When it says to estimate, I always think of doing it by hand to show work.  So set it up like this:

  96

<u>x 34</u>

So follow it out multiplying across 4*6 and 4*9 carrying over as needed to get it to look like this:

  96

<u>x 34</u>

384


Do the same for the 3 to get this:

  96

<u>x 34</u>

  384

2880

Add 384+2880=3264

Your final answer is 3,264

TIMED***Which equation is represented by the graph below?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
   
From the graph we observe:  
If x = 0 then y = 1/2    (because  e⁰ = 1)

\displaystyle \bf \\&#10;\Longrightarrow~~\boxed{\bf y =  \frac{1}{2} e^x}
