Need help on scientific notation

A calculator or spreadsheet program set to display in scientific notation can show you the answers much sooner than waiting for someone on Brainly.

The basic idea of scientific notation is to represent a number by a value in the range 1-10 multiplied by some power of ten. The power of ten derives from the place value of the location of the left-most non-zero digit of the number.

a) The first number in the numerator is 130,000. The left-most non-zero digit is 1. It is in the hundred-thousands place in the number. In expanded form, that digit would be written as ...

... 1 × 100,000 . . . or . . . 1 × 10⁵

This multiplier (10⁵) is the one you use when you write the number in scientific notation as 1.3 × 10⁵.

Though it gets tedious to keep track of zeros and factors, you know that

... 100,000 = 10×10×10×10×10

The exponent 5 in 10⁵ tells you how many factors of 10 there are in the number. Just as multiplication simpifies repeated addition, using exponents simplifies repeated multiplication. The rules of exponents correspond to what happens to the number of factors of 10 when you multiply or divide.

Likewise, the left-most non-zero digit in 0.0057 is 5. it is located in the thousandths place in the number. In expanded form, that digit would be written as ...

... 5 × .001 . . . or . . .  5 × 10⁻³

The multiplier 10⁻³ is the one you use when you write the number in scientific notation as 5.7 × 10⁻³.

Negative exponents signify powers in the denominator, so

... 0.001 = 1/1000 = 1/(10×10×10) = 10⁻³

The number in the denominator of the Part A expression is similar, except that its first non-zero digit is in the ten-thousandths place. Its multiplier is 1/10,000 = 10⁻⁴, so it is 4 × 10⁻⁴ when written in scientific notation.

The problem is then written in scientific notation as ...

(1.3×10⁵)(5.7×10⁻³)/(4×10⁻⁴)

It is evaluated as ...

\dfrac{1.3\cdot 5.7}{4}\times 10^{(5-3-(-4))}=\bf{1.8525\times 10^{6}}

b)

\dfrac{9\cdot 10^{4}\times 1.6\cdot 10^{-3}}{2\cdot 10^{5}\times 3\cdot 10^{4}\times 1.2\cdot 10^{-4}}\\\\=\dfrac{9\cdot 1.6}{2\cdot 3\cdot 1.2}\times 10^{(4-3-(5+4-4))}=\bf{2\times 10^{-4}}

Find the degree of w
lorasvet [3.4K]

Sum of angles of a linear pair = 180. So angle with measurement 142 and the adjacent angle to it have a sum = 180.

THerefore 142+y=180

Subtracting 142 from both sides

y = 38

Now in the down right sides corner triangle

38+49+w=180

87+w=180

Subtracting 80 from both sides,

w = 93

So the measurement of angle w = 93 .

What is the perimeter of rhombus LMNO? 20 units 24 units 40 units 48 units
NeTakaya
The little lines on each side of the rhombus mean that all the sides are the same length.

We can set line LM and MN equal to solve for X, then we can solve the length of a side.

3x-3 = x+7

Add 3 to each side:
3x = x +10

Subtract x from each side:

2x = 10

Divide both sides by 2:
x = 10/2
x = 5

Now we have the value for x, replace x in one of the side formulas:

x +7 = 5+7 = 12

Each side = 12 units.

 The perimeter would be 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 48 units.

Given X is midpoint of RS , MX =XS Prove Mx =RX
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Transitive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Since X is the midpoint, it bisects the points RS. If MX=XS, and RS is the same as XS, then they are the same. This also follows the Transitive propety  (if a=b and b=c, then a=c)
