Answer:

Jay's estimate is closer to the actual weight of the basketball

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard weight of an NBA basketball is 1.4 pounds.

Judging the accuracy of Jay's and Shawna's answer based on their percentage error when compared with the standard, we have that Jay's answer has a lower error as shown below

Error  = (Standard value - Estimated value)/ Standard Value ×100

Error in Jays answer = \frac{1.4 - 0.5}{1.4} × 100 = 64.28 %

Error in Shawna's answer = \frac{1.4 - 0.05}{1.4} × 100 = 96.42%

From this, It is obvious that Jay's answer has a lower percentage error when compared to the actual value.

How might this number be shown on a calculator?<br> 5.31x1037 (37 is above 10)<br> [?]e[ ]
Arisa [49]

Answer:

5.31E37

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5.31 * 10^{37}

Required

How it'd be displayed on a calculator

Standard calculators, today are built to always convert huge numbers or extremely small number to scientific notations;

This was done to allow the calculator fit each values on its screen

5.31 * 10^{37} is such a big number that it'll require the calculator to display it using scientific notations;

So, basically we have to convert 5.31 * 10^{37} to scientific notaton;

This is achieved by replacing *10^{37} with E37

So, 5.31 * 10^{37} is equivalent to 5.31E37

\large \mathfrak{Solution : }

let's solve for x :

  • \dfrac{2}{9} x -  \dfrac{1}{3}  =  - 1

  • \dfrac{2}{9}  x =  - 1 +  \dfrac{1}{3}

  • \dfrac{2}{9} x =  \dfrac{ - 3 + 1}{3}

  • x =  \dfrac{ - 2}{3}  \times  \dfrac{9}{2}

  • x =  - 3

I hope it helped...
