Anyone know what these two questions are? the subject is scientific notation

tatiyna

Answer:

1. The negative sign on an exponent means the reciprocal. A negative exponent tells how many times to divide a base number.

2. A positive tells how many times to multiply a base number.

could you also give me a brainliest if I am correct.

thanks!

Please simplify this fraction c:

Liula [17]

F you just want to see the really short way, just skip down to AAAAAAAAAAAA

so, here is the long explanation
exponential properties
$x^{-m}= \frac{1}{x^m}$

don't forget pemdas
2x^2=2(x^2)

so
$\frac{2x^{-4}}{3xy}$ = $\frac{2 \frac{1}{x^4} }{3xy}= \frac{2}{3x^5y}$

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
so we see
the original equatio is
$\frac{2x^{-4}}{3xy}$

remember
$\frac{ab}{cd} =( \frac{a}{c})( \frac{b}{d})$

so we can seperate the constants
$\frac{ab}{cd} =( \frac{2}{3})( \frac{x^{-4}}{xy})$

we know that the placeholders cannot affet the position of the constants unless they are grouped together which they are not

terfor the answer must have 2/3 in it

the only one that hsa that is A

The area of a rectangle is 56 cm. The length is 2 cm more than x and the width is 5 cm less than twice x. Solve for x. Round to

Black_prince [1.1K]

Length = x + 2 (because it is 2 cm more than x)
Width = 2x - 5 (5 cm lest than 2x)Area = 54 cm2 this is the formula to find the area Length × Width = Area (x + 2)(2x - 5) = 542x2 - x - 10 = 54 (this is you area)

Subtract 54 on both sides of equation to make the right side zero. 2x2 - x - 64 = 0 then use the quadratic formula x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac)) / 2a where:a = 2b = -1c = -64 Plug in these values into the formula. x = (1 ± √(1 - 4(-128))) / 4 x = (1 ± √(513)) / 4 x = (1 ± 22.65) / 4 x = (1 + 22.65) / 4 and x = (1 - 22.65) / 4 x = 5.91 and x = -5.41 Check the validity of the x values by adding them to the length and width. If the length or width should be a negative value, then that value of x is not acceptable. Now x = 5.91 Length = 5.91 + 2 (positive value.)Width = 2(5.91) - 5 ( positive value.) x = 5.91 If we look at this -- x = -5.41, Both length and width will be negative values. We reject this value of x. The answer is x = 5.91

Hope I helped and sorry it was really long
