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

I need help can someone explain this simply
statuscvo [17]
In order to do this, you have to use the Pythagorean Theorem which is a^2 +b^2=c^2 It does not matter in what order a and b are, but c is always the hypotenuse or the side across from the right angle. First, you substitute 24 in for a and 45 in for b so your equation so far would look like 24^2 + 45^2 = c^2 Then, you square 24 and 45 and get 576+2025=c^2 Then you add the two to get 2601=c^2 Finally, you would square root both sides and get 51=c So the width of the recycling bin is 51 inches long

Pls help. Can’t do this.
Anna [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line A:

y-1=0, 5x-3

y=0, 5x-2. Hence its gradient is 0,5

For line B, its you intercept is -8, so y=mx-8.

When x = -4, y=-4m -8 =0 as shown in the graph. This means that m = -2.

Since |-2| > |0, 5|, line B is steeper than line A.

Find the doubling time of an investment earning 7% interest if interest is compounded continuously
Alex

Answer:

The doubling time of this investment would be 9.9 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate equation for this compound interest is

A = Pe^(rt), where P is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, and t is the elapsed time in years.

If P doubles, then A = 2P

Thus, 2P = Pe^(0.07t)

Dividing both sides by P results in 2 = e^(0.07t)

Take the natural log of both sides:  ln 2 = 0.07t.

Then t = elapsed time = ln 2

                                       --------- = 0.69315/0.07 = 9.9

                                         0.07

The doubling time of this investment would be 9.9 years.
