Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

If S is between R and T, then RS+ST = RT

Given the following parameters

RS=2z+6,

ST=4z−3,

RT=5z+12

On substituting

2z+6+4z-3 = 5z+12

Collect like terms

2z+4z-5z = 12+3-6

6z-5z = 15-6

z = 9

Hence the value of z is 9

Answer:

x = - 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sketch represents

y = x² + bx + c

The graph crosses the y- axis at (0 , - 14), thus c = - 14

y = x² + bx - 14

Given the graph crosses the x- axis at (2, 0), then

0 = 2² + 2b - 14

0 = 4 + 2b - 14 = 2b - 10 ( add 10 to both sides )

10 = 2b ( divide both sides by 2 )

b = 5

y = x² + 5x - 14 ← represents the graph

let y = 0 , then

x² + 5x - 14 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

The x- intercepts are x = - 7 and x = 2

The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry which is midway between the x- intercepts, thus

the x- coordinate of the turning point is \frac{-7+2}{2} = \frac{-5}{2} = - 2.5

(8.6x107)-(9.1x10-8)simplify
natima [27]

Answer:

  85,999,999.999 999 909

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression represents the difference of a relatively large number and one that is relatively small. That difference is approximately the value of the large number. The exact value requires 17 digits for its proper expression. Most calculators and spreadsheets cannot display this many digits.

<h3>Standard form</h3>

The numbers in standard form are ...

  86,000,000 = 8.6×10^7

  0.000000091 = 9.1×10^-8

<h3>Difference</h3>

Their difference is ...

  86,000,000 -0.000000091 = 85,999,999.999 999 909

In scientific notation, this is ...

  8.599 999 999 999 990 9×10^7
