5 0

Answer:

2115751

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

- The number of 5 letter words that contain x is the number of 5 letter words overall minus the number of 5 letter of words without x.

                  How many 5 letter words are there overall?

- The first letter could be one of 26 letters. The same could be said about the second letter, and the third, and the fourth and the fifth .. so on.

- So the number of 5 letter words overall is:

                        26x26x26x26x26 = 26^5 = 11881376

          How many 5 letter words are there that do not contain x?

- The first letter could be one of 25 letters (it could be one of any of the other 25 letters but not x). The second letter could also be one of 25 letters, and so could the third, and so could the fourth, and so could the fifth.

- So the number of 5 letter words that do not contain x is:

                        25x25x25x25x25 = 25^5 = 9765625

- So the number of 5 letter words that contain x is:

                      26^5 - 25^5 = 11881376 - 9765625 = 2115751.

The radius of a circle 6 cm what is the circles area?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

113.04 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the formula to find the area of a circle is

A= pi(r^{2})

And we are told to use 3.14 instead of pi so what we have now is,

A=3.14(r^{2})

We are also told the radius, r, is 6. So our equation now looks like this,

A=3.14(6^{2})\\\\6^{2}is the same as 36, because 6x6 is 36.

Now we have,

A=3.14(36)  

Which equals 113.04 and that is the area!

Hope that helps and have a great day!

An astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance between Earth and the sun. One AU is equal to approximately 150,000,000 km. As
Dimas [21]

Using scientific notation, it is found that the measure of one astronomical unit in kilometers is 1.5 \times 10^8

A number in <em>scientific notation</em> is given by:

a \times 10^b

  • In which a \in [1, 10)
  • To realize the conversion from decimal to scientific notation, b is the number of decimal places the comma moves, being positive if to the left, negative if to the right.  

In this problem, 1 AU = 150,000,000 km.

  • The comma has to move 8 places to the right, hence b = 8

Then, the measure is: 1.5 \times 10^8
