Answer:

Option B - =8.4672\times 10^{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Astronomers measure large distances in light-years. One light-year is the distance that light can travel in one year, or approximately 5,880,000,000,000 miles.Suppose a star is 14.4 light years from earth.

To find : In scientific notation, how many miles away a star is from earth?

Solution :

One light-year is the distance that light can travel in one year is = 5,880,000,000,000 miles.

In scientific notation, 5.88\times 10^{12} miles.

In 14.4 lights year the distance is  =14.4\times5.88\times 10^{12}

In 14.4 lights year the distance is  =84.672\times 10^{12}

                                                  or  =8.4672\times 10^{13}

Therefore, Option B is correct.

What is the first step in solving the quadratic equation x2 = StartFraction 9 Over 16 EndFraction? Take the square root of both
balu736 [363]

Answer:

The first step is

Take the square root of both sides of the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x^{2} =\frac{9}{16}

Solve for x

step 1

Take square root both sides

x=(+/-)\frac{3}{4}

the solutions are

x=+\frac{3}{4} and  x=-\frac{3}{4}

therefore

The first step is

Take the square root of both sides of the equation
