Explain to someone who missed class today what scientific notation is and the difference between 3^8 and

Scientific notation is basically a short cut to write numbers with a lot of zeros in them. The difference between 3^8 and 3*10^8 is that the first is 3 multiplied by itself 8 times, and the second is 3 being mulitplied by 10^8. I hope this helps.

Answer: Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too big or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form.

5x + 3y = -2<br> 3x + 2y = -1

Effectus [21]

Answer:

(-1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+2y= -2, x= -1/3 - 2/3y

5( -1/3 - 2/3y) +3y= -2

y= 1

x= -1/3 - 2/3 × 1

x= -1

You are a lifeguard and spot a drowning child 60 meters along the shore and 40 meters from the shore to the child. You run along

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The lifeguard should run across the shore a distance of 48.074 m before jumpng into the water in order to minimize the time to reach the child.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of optimization.

We have to minimize the time it takes for the lifeguard to reach the child.

The time can be calculated by dividing the distance by the speed for each section.

The distance in the shore and in the water depends on when the lifeguard gets in the water. We use the variable x to model this, as seen in the picture attached.

Then, the distance in the shore is d_b=x and the distance swimming can be calculated using the Pithagorean theorem:

$d_s^2=(60-x)^2+40^2=60^2-120x+x^2+40^2=x^2-120x+5200\\\\d_s=\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}$

Then, the time (speed divided by distance) is:

$t=d_b/v_b+d_s/v_s\\\\t=x/4+\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}/1.1$

To optimize this function we have to derive and equal to zero:

$\dfrac{dt}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{1.1}(\dfrac{1}{2})\dfrac{2x-120}{\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}} \\\\\\\dfrac{dt}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{4} +\dfrac{1}{1.1} \dfrac{x-60}{\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}} =0\\\\\\ \dfrac{x-60}{\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}} =\dfrac{1.1}{4}=\dfrac{2}{7}\\\\\\ x-60=\dfrac{2}{7}\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}\\\\\\(x-60)^2=\dfrac{2^2}{7^2}(x^2-120x+5200)\\\\\\(x-60)^2=\dfrac{4}{49}[(x-60)^2+40^2]\\\\\\(1-4/49)(x-60)^2=4*40^2/49=6400/49\\\\(45/49)(x-60)^2=6400/49\\\\45(x-60)^2=6400\\\\$

$x$

As $d_b=x$ , the lifeguard should run across the shore a distance of 48.074 m before jumpng into the water in order to minimize the time to reach the child.

An acute triangle has sides measuring 10 cm and 16 cm. The length of the third side is unknown.

saveliy_v [14]

Answer: Choice B

12.5 < x < 18.9

================================================

Explanation:

We have a triangle with these side lengths:

a = 10
b = 16
c = x = unknown

Let's assume that b = 16 is the largest side of this triangle.

By the converse of the pythagorean theorem, we need $b^2 < a^2+c^2$ to be true in order for an acute triangle to happen.

So,

$b^2 < a^2 + c^2\\\\c^2 > b^2 - a^2\\\\c > \sqrt{b^2-a^2}\\\\x > \sqrt{16^2-10^2}\\\\x > \sqrt{156}\\\\x > 12.4899959967968 \ \text{(approximate)}\\\\x > 12.5$

Now let's consider the possibility that the missing side x is actually the longest side.

Using the same theorem as before, we would say,

$c^2 < a^2 + b^2\\\\c < \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\\\\x < \sqrt{10^2 + 16^2}\\\\x < \sqrt{356}\\\\x < 18.8679622641132 \ \text{(approximate)}\\\\x < 18.9\\\\$

We found that x > 12.5 and x < 18.9

This is the same as saying 12.5 < x and x < 18.9

Put together, they form the approximate answer of 12.5 < x < 18.9
