Answer:
what are the hypotheses?
Step-by-step explanation:
you said the hypotheses are as folows its not there
Answer: See below
Step-by-step explanation:
In scientific notation, you can tell that it is greater or less than 1 by looking at the exponent. The scientific notation looks like _.__×10⁻. Note: The little lines are blanks for you to fill in. The dot at the bottom is a decimal.
If the exponent on top of 10 is positive, you are moving the decimal to the right side, making the number greater.
If the exponent on top of 10 is negative, you are moving the decimal to the left side, making it smaller and smaller.
By those statements, you can tell if a number is greater or less than 1 by looking at the exponent.
I think( so correct me if i'm wrong).....Using the distance formula... D=Rate x Time, you alter it so that it equals time, since you want to find the number of weeks.
Time = Distance/ rate
SInce you start off at 2 and end up with 5, the total distance is 3 (I subtracted 5-2). And rate is already 12% (this is the iffy part, I'm not sure if you change the 12% in anyway.... but lets move on)
SO Time= 3miles/ 12% which is 1/4 of a week, or possibly.....
Time = 3 miles/ 0.12 which would equal 25 weeks.....
Do they give you these answers?
The question is worded a bit strangely (in my opinion anyway), but I think your teacher wants you to describe how exponents work.
Let's say we had the expression 
The base is 5 as its the bottom most value (think of something like the base of a tree or building). The exponent is 3.
The exponent of 3 tells the reader to multiply the base 5 by itself 3 times like so

With larger exponents, it becomes more tedious to write out all the repeated multiplications, which is why many calculators have an exponent button to save time.
Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
you can first find the two zeroes
that would be
x + 2 = 0
x - 4 = 0
x = {-2, 4}
then you average them
-2 + 4 = 2
2 / 2 = 1
the aos is 1
