There is an average of 3.5×10−2 kilograms of dissolved salt in each liter of seawater. The South China Sea contains approximatel
y 9.88×1018 liters of seawater. How many kilograms of dissolved salt are in the South China Sea? Enter your answer, in scientific notation, in the boxes.
1 answer:
Answer:
3.458×10¹⁷ kg
Step-by-step explanation:
(3.5×10⁻² kg/L) × (9.88×10¹⁸ L) = (3.5×9.88) × 10⁽⁻²⁺¹⁸⁾ kg
... = 34.58×10¹⁶ kg
... = 3.458×10¹⁷ kg

Answer:
You can find the point of intersection of the line with the y-axis and the the point of intersection of the line with the x-axis. See the graph attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the intersection with the y-axis. Substitute into the equation and solve for y:
≈3.33
Find the intersection with the x-axis. Substitute into the equation and solve for x:
Now, you know that the line passes through the point (0,3.33) and (-10,0). Now you can graph the function. (Observe the graph attached)
Answer:
2.
Step-by-step explanation:
2. The line will be parallel to the current track which means they have the same slope. To write the equation, use the slope m=1/2 and the point (2,4) in point slope form:
This is the equation of the line. You can convert it to slope intercept form:
