8.71 xx10^(12)

The exponent is a positive number. This means the decimal point moves to the right by the number of the exponent.

There are two digits to the right of the decimal point, so to move the decimal 12 places, you would need to add 10 zeros.

8.71 x 10^12 becomes 8,710,000,000,000.

Find the perimeter of a field that has length 2/x + 1 and width 5/x^2 -1.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

D)4x + 6/(x + 1)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A field is basically a rectangle, so to find the perimeter of our field we are using the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle

$p=2(l+w)$

where

$p$ is the perimeter

$l$ is the length

$w$ is the width

We know from our problem that the field has length 2/x + 1 and width 5/x^2 -1, so $l=\frac{2}{x+1}$ and $w=\frac{5}{x^2-1}$ .

Replacing values:

$p=2(l+w)$

$p=2(\frac{2}{x+1} +\frac{5}{x^2-1})$

Notice that the denominator of the second fraction is a difference of squares, so we can factor it using the formula $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$ where $a$ is the first term and $b$ is the second term. We can infer that $a=x^2$ and $b=1^2$ . So, $x^2-1=(x+1)(x-1)$ . Replacing that:
