Using a spectrometer, a sample was analyzed to have a percent transmittance of 85%. This means that the remainder of the light was absorbed by the sample given in the question.

Now, from the 100% light that has been incident on the sample, if 85% was transmitted, then the percentage of light was actually absorbed by the sample can be found out as:

percentage of light was actually absorbed by the sample=100% - (percentage of light transmitted by the sample)

Therefore, percentage of light was actually absorbed by the sample=100%-85%=15%

Thus, 15% light was actually absorbed by the sample.

Answer:

First picture: -4,913

Second picture: 20.25

Step-by-step explanation:

-17^5/-17^2 = -17^3

-17 × -17 × -17 = -4913

4.5^5/4.5^3 = 4.5^2

4.5 × 4.5 = 20.25

Do you see how I had the same whole number on the top and bottom? (17 was on top and 17 was on bottom)

The exponents were those tiny numbers you saw.

Whenever you are dividing by the same whole number (-17/-17), you can subtract exponents.

When you multiply the same whole number, you can add the exponents.

Hope this helps! Best of luck :)

Write the equation of the line, in standard form that has an x intercept at (3,0) and y
Nataly [62]
  • x intercept=a=3
  • y intercept=b=-2

We need the normal form first

\\ \rm\bull\rightarrowtail \dfrac{x}{a}+\dfrac{y}{b}=1

\\ \rm\bull\rightarrowtail \dfrac{x}{3}-\dfrac{y}{2}=1

Multiply by 6to bring standard form

\\ \rm\bull\rightarrowtail 2x-3y=1

Suppose x and y vary together such that x is 7 times as large as y. write a formula that defines x in terms of y.
Ainat [17]
Since y is less than x by 7 times \frac{x}{7}=y so in terms of x we write
x=7y
