How many significant digits are there in 17.0

Mathematics
1 answer:
svet-max [94.6K]3 years ago
4 0
The answer is three significant figures. The 1 and the 7 are both significant, because they are non-zero quantities.
This is where significant figures gets a little more complicated, because if a zero is used as a placeholder (i.e. 0.00027 cm) then it is insignificant.
But in the case above, the zero isn't being used as a placeholder, and thus, is significant.

A line with a slope of 2 passes through the points (0,4) and (-6,v). What is the value of v?
krok68 [10]

To solve this problem, we should create an equation using the given information.  To do this, we should calculate the slope between the two points as if they were regular points, giving us:

change in y/change in x = (v-4)/(-6-0) = (v-4)/(-6)

Since we know that the slope is 2, we can set our calculated value for the slope of the line for the equation (v-4)/(-6) equal to 2, as shown below:

(v-4)/(-6) = 2

To solve this equation, we should multiply both sides of the equation by -6 to get rid of the denominator on the left side of the equation.

v-4 = -12

Next, we should add 4 to both sides of the equation to get the variable v alone on the left side of the equation, as shown below:

v = -8

Therefore, v =-8 is your answer.

Hope this helps!

Lara planted some seeds. For every 3 seeds Lara planted, only 2 seeds grew.
Tresset [83]

Given:

For every 3 seeds Lara planted, only 2 seeds grew.

Altogether, 12 seeds grew.

To find:

The number of total seeds planted by Lara.

Solution:

It is given that for every 3 seeds Lara planted, only 2 seeds grew. It means the ratio of total seeds planted to seeds grew is 3:2.

Altogether, 12 seeds grew.

Let x be the number of total seeds planted by Lara. Then,

x:12=3:2

\dfrac{x}{12}=\dfrac{3}{2}

x=\dfrac{3}{2}\times 12

x=18

Therefore, the total number of seeds planter by Lara is 18.
