Answer:

Exponents

Step-by-step explanation:

exponents are basic short cut to write numbers like 100, 1000, 10000, 1000000 and so on.

Exponents can also be defined as 10 raised to a power x whether positive or negative

10 {}^{x}

They are mostly used in expressing units in standard form.

<h3>examples of basic positive exponents</h3>

{10}^{2}  = 100

10 {}^{3}  = 1000

{10}^{4}   = 10000

{10}^{5}  = 100000

basically the power represent the the number of zeroes after the 1.

<h3>examples of basic negative exponents</h3>

{10}^{ - 2}  = 0.01

{10}^{ - 3}  = 0.001

{10}^{ - 4}  = 0.0001

10 ^{ - 5}  = 0.00001

in negative exponents the power represents the number of zeroes before the 1. including the 0 behind the decimal point.

this is the basic lay down of how exponent work but one more quick example for maximum understanding

<h3>quick example</h3>

4 \times  {10}^{4}  = 0.0004

4 \times  {10}^{4}  = 40000

8.69 \times 10 {}^{ - 3}  = 0.00869

8.69 \times 10 {}^{  3}  = 8690

hope you grasp the concept involved in multiplication with other terms.

cheers

Question 4
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 + 8x = 2

3x^2 + 8x - 2 = 0

D = b^2+4ac

D = 8^2+4(3)(-2)

D = 64+(-24)

D = 64-24

D = 40

Last week, a GameStop store sold some $43 games and some $30 games for a total of
Vesnalui [34]

Answer: The total number of games sold by the GameStop is 14. That is 5 games of $43 and 9 games of $30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering some games of $43 were sold and others for $30 were also sold in arriving at the total of $485 sold.

If 5 games of $43 were sold it gives $215.

To get the difference, you subtract the amount sold for $43 from the total.

$485 - $215 = $270

To arrive at how many $30 games were sold;

$270 ÷ $30 per game = 9 games

Therefore, 5 games of $43 combined with 9 games of $30 gives a total of 14 games.

Does the graph represent a function?
lisov135 [29]

It is true that the graph represents a function

<h3>How to determine if the graph represent a function?</h3>

For a graph to represent a function, the following must be true

Each x value on the graph must point to exactly one

The above means that the function must pass the vertical line test

The given graph would pass the vertical line test

This is so because:

Each x value on the graph points to exactly one

Hence, the graph represents a function

Given the function LaTeX: f\left(x\right)=-5x^2-x+20f ( x ) = − 5 x 2 − x + 20, find LaTeX: f\left(2\right)f ( 2 ). Group of ans
BartSMP [9]

The value of f(2) is -2 ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the quadratic function is;

f(x) = ax² + bx + c, where

  • a is the coefficient of x²
  • b is the coefficient of x
  • c is the numerical term
  • x is the domain of the function and f(x) is the range of the function

∵ f(x) = -5x² - x + 20

- f(2) means value f(x) at x = 2

∵ x = 2

- Substitute x in the function by 2 to find f(2)

∵ f(2) = -5(2)² - (2) + 20

∴ f(2) = -5(4) - 2 + 20

∴ f(2) = -20 - 2 + 20

∴ f(2) = -2

The value of f(2) is -2
