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}}

Consider this linear function y=1/2x+1 plot all ordered pairs for the values in the domain D:{-8,-4,0,2,6}
devlian [24]

Answer:

Following are the calculated points to the given question:

Step-by-step explanation:

When\ x=-8\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}(-8)+1=-3\\\\

so,  

Point \ A(-8,-3)

When\ x=-4\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}(-4)+1=-1\\\\

so,  

Point \ B(-4,-1)

When\ x=0\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}(0)+1=1\\\\

so,  

Point \ C(0,1)

When\ x=2\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}(2)+1=2\\\\

so,  

Point \ D(2,2)

When\ x=6\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}(6)+1=4\\\\

so,

Point \ E(6,4)

Which relation is a function?
Brums [2.3K]
The second relation is a function.

For a relation to be a function, each x-value can only have a singular corresponding y-value. Since all other relations feature x-values with multiple y-values, the second relation is a function.

I need help with these two problems please
Debora [2.8K]

Problem 2

Plot point L anywhere that isn't on segment JK. Draw a line through point L. I find it helps to make the lines parallel.

Next, use a compass to measure the width of segment JK. Keeping this same width, transfer the nonpencil end of the compass to point L. Draw an arc that crosses the line through L.

Mark this intersection point M. Lastly, use a pen or marker to form segment LM and erase everything else of that line.

======================================================

Problem 3

The ideas of the previous problem will be used here. We copied segment JK to form congruent segment LM. So JK = LM.

The same steps will be used to form segment GN where GN = EF. In other words, segment GN is a perfect copy of segment EF.

If you repeat these steps again, you'll get another segment of the same length. This segment goes from point N to point H. So NH = GN = EF

Then we can say,

GH = GN + NH

GH = EF + EF

GH = 2*EF
