10^-10 in decimal form is 0.000000001. Because the exponent is negative, you move the decimal point ( decimal point is at the end of 0 of the base number 10) 10 place to the right of 10 and u get the answer above. I discarded the 0 later in the answer because now that you've moved the decimal, that 0 have no value. But when forming it in decimal you have to use that 0 or you will get a wrong answer, instead of eight 0's, you will end up with nine 0's.
Okay, so here, we know that -10 is the slope, therefore, it is also the constant of proportionality.
'x' is the unknown value, that tells us to multiply by -10.
So, on a graph, we would consider that per unit, it would decrease by -10, since its a negative slope.
Hope I helped, if you have further questions or concerns, feel free to PM me. Thanks! :D
The answer is B.
ln both sides to clear the 'e' and bring 'a' out of the power.
3/2
divide the term but he previous and figure out the sequence
