The exponent positive 4 means we move the decimal four spaces to the right.

The 2.7 becomes 27,000 after doing so

$2.7 \times 10^4 = 27,000$

If the exponent was negative, then we would move the decimal point to the left.

When converting scientific notation to standard form you will move the decimal the number of times that is shown in the exponent which in this case is 4. So , you move the decimal to the right since it is a positive 4 then that would give you the number 27,000 which is in standard form.

the slopes of a quadrilateral are -1/2, 3/2, -1/2, and 3/2. What conclusion about this shape cam be made.

Talja [164]

The conclusion that can be made given the slopes of the quadrilateral is that: since the slopes of the opposite sides are equal, the opposite sides are parallel, therefore the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. (Option A is correct).

<em><u>Recall:</u></em>

The slopes of the opposite sides of a parallelogram are always parallel.

When two lines have a slope that is equal, the lines are said to be parallel to each other.

The slopes given shows are:

-1/2, 3/2, -1/2, and 3/2

This implies that the quadrilateral has two pairs of equal sides that are parallel to each other.

Therefore, the conclusion that can be made given the slopes of the quadrilateral is that: since the slopes of the opposite sides are equal, the opposite sides are parallel, therefore the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. (Option A is correct).

Complete question

A 29-meter ladder is sliding down a vertical wall so the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground is decreasing at 7 meters per minute. At a certain instant, the bottom of the ladder is 21 meters from the wall.

What is the rate of change of the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall at that instant(in meters per minute)

Answer:

$\frac{dx}{dt}=11.94m/min$
