How do you use an exponent to be present a number such as 16

Maybe this can help you

This sounds like you're asking about a binary floating
point format, though I'm not positive because of the 
vocabulary you use. I interpret "characteristic" to mean 
"exponent" and "significand" as "fraction" (or "mantissa"). 

If that's true, then you've described: 

sign(1) + binary fraction(20) + binary exponent(10) 

Note that there are other possible interpretations (for 
example, a base-16 exponent). 

Since I'm assuming a binary exponent, we can use the same 
trick that IEEE 754 floating point standard does, and assume 
an "implicit" leading "1" to the fraction portion. This 
trick means that the fractional part will be between 
the following numbers (in base 2): 

1.00000000000000000000 (1 followed by twenty zeros)

The stopping distance d of an automobile is directly proportional to the square of its speed s. On one road, a car requires 75 f

Anton [14]

Answer:

The car requires 192 feet to stop from a speed of 48 miles per hour on the same road

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct proportion means that two quantities increase or decrease in the same ratio

If y is directly proportional to x (y ∝ x) , then $\frac{y_{1}}{y_{2}}=\frac{x_{1}}{x_{2}}$ OR y = k x, where k is the constant of proportionality

∵ The stopping distance d of an automobile is directly

proportional to the square of its speed s

- That means d ∝ s²

∴ $\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}=\frac{(s_{1})^{2}}{(s_{2})^{2}}$

∵ A car requires 75 feet to stop from a speed of 30 miles per hour

∴ d = 75 feet

∴ s = 30 miles/hour

- Change the mile to feet

∵ 1 mile = 5280 feet

∴ 30 miles/hour = 30 × 5280 = 158400 feet/hour

∵ The car require to stop from a speed of 48 miles per hour

on the same road

- Change the mile to feet

∴ 48 miles/hour = 48 × 5280 = 253440 feet/hour

∵ $\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}=\frac{(s_{1})^{2}}{(s_{2})^{2}}$

- Substitute the values of $d_{1}$ by 75 feet, $s_{1}$ by 158400 feet/hour

and $s_{2}$ by 253440 feet/hour

∴ $\frac{75}{d_{2}}=\frac{(158400)^{2}}{(253440)^{2}}$

∴ $\frac{75}{d_{2}}=\frac{25}{64}$

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 25 × $d_{2}$ = 75 × 64

- Divide both sides by 25

∴ $d_{2}$ = 192 feet

The car requires 192 feet to stop from a speed of 48 miles per hour on the same road

Solve for x

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

---------

Step-by-step explanation:

x-3= -9

x= -9/ 3

x= -3

( -3x)-5 =16

-3x = 16+5

×= 21/-3

x = -7

Alik [6]

Answer: No they don't because there is not way 1/3 can be multiplied by a number to get 2/9 and there is no way 2/9 can be divide by any number to get 1/3.

Based on its degree, what kind of polynomial is this h(x)= -6x^3+2x-5

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

cubic polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial is $h(x)=-6x^{3}+2x-5$

A polynomial of degree 1 is a linear polynomial.

A polynomial of degree 2 is a quadratic polynomial.

A polynomial of degree 3 is a cubic polynomial.

In this case the exponent with the maximum value in the polynomial is 3.

Hence the degree of the polynomial h(x) is 3.

Hence the given polynomial is a cubic polynomial.
