5 x 10^5 is how many times as large as 1 x 10^5?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

  5 times as large

Step-by-step explanation:

You can think of "10^5" as "green marbles" if you like. Then your question is ...

  5 green marbles is how many times as large as 1 green marble.

Hopefully, the answer is all too clear: it is 5 times as large.

_____

In math terms, when you want to know how many times as large y is as x, the answer is found by dividing y by x:

  y/x . . . . . tells you how many times as large as x is y.

Here, that looks like ...

  \dfrac{5\times 10^5}{1\times 10^5}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{1} \qquad\text{the factors of $10^5$ cancel}\\\\=5

Jamal states that ax + b = a(x + c), given a, b, and c are not equal to 0. What must be the value of c for Jamal's statement to
Anna35 [415]

ANSWER

For Jamal statement to be true,

c = \frac{b}{a}

EXPLANATION

The given statement is:

ax + b = a(x + c)

We expand the left hand side to obtain,

ax + b = ax + ac

Subtract ax from from both sides of the equation.

b=ac

We know that, a≠0 , so we can divide through by 'a'.

\frac{b}{a}  = c

The coordinates of points A, B, and C are (5, 4), (–2, 1), and (4, –4), respectively. Which point, B or C, is closer to point A?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The distance between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) = √((x1-x2)2+(y1-y2)2) Distance between A and B = √((5--2)2+(4-1)2) = √(72+32) = √(49+9) = √58 = 7.62 Distance between A and C = √(12+82) = √65 = 8.06 Point B is closer to A. Another method to solve this problem is to draw the points on a graph paper and measure distance with a ruler.
