Sum with scientific notation. We just ignore the 10^5, because the two numbers have the same exponent and repeat it on the result of the normal sum between the numbers.

But, for example, if we had:

-> 5 x 10^4 + 5 x 10^5

We would need to equal the exponents to do the sum without having to multiply all those tens.

5 x 10^4 + 50 x 10^4
= 55 x 10^4

or 0.5 x 10^5 + 5 x 10^5
= 5.5 x 10^5

*They are the same results.

Now returning to the question:

-> 7.35 + 9.78 = 17.13
-> 17.13 x 10^5

You can prove it yourself:

-> 7.35 x 10^5 = 735,000

-> 9.78 x 10^5 = 978,000

-> 735,000 + 978,000 = 1,713,000

Or: 1713 x 10^3 or 17.13 x 10^5

Answer: The combined capacity of the two tower is 17.13 x 10^5 gallons of water.

I played 4 video games and had an average score of 10,000 points per game.
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Wilt Chamberlain set the single-game scoring record in the National Basketball Association (NBA) by scoring 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a 169–147 win over the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962, at Hershey Sports Arena in Hershey, Pennsylvania. It is widely considered one of the greatest records in basketball. Chamberlain set five other league records that game including most free throws made, a notable achievement, as he was regarded as a poor free throw shooter. The teams broke the record for most combined points in a game (316). That season, Chamberlain averaged a record 50.4 points per game, and he had broken the NBA single-game scoring record (71) earlier in the season in December with 78 points. The third-year center had already set season scoring records in his first two seasons. In the fourth quarter, the Knicks began fouling other players to keep the ball away from Chamberlain, and they also became deliberate on offense to reduce the number of possessions for Philadelphia. The Warriors countered by committing fouls of their own to get the ball back.

The game was not televised, and no video footage of the game has been recovered; there are only audio recordings of the game's fourth quarter. The NBA was not yet recognized as being a major sports league and struggled to compete against college basketball. The attendance at this game was around half of capacity, and no members of the New York press were at the game.

Answer:

\boxed{-10000}

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x)=\frac{1}{x}

Let x = -10000

F(-10000)=\frac{1}{-10000}

F(-10000)= -0.0001

-0.0001 is closest to 0 when x value is -10000.

No other value can work from the other options, options B and C increase the value from 0. Option D would make the function undefined.

Can someone tell me if I did this right? If it's wrong can you tell me how to do it step by step? Thanks

Hi there!

So first off, here are little definitions you need to know in order to be able to answer your question :

<u>Constant</u> means that the rates of change are the same.

<u>Variable</u> means that the rates of change are different.


But from what I can see, you don't even need those definitions because you got both answers right!


Continue your great work! If there's anything just let me know! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, parent function,

Transformed function,

Since, if a function f(x) gives cf(x), where c is any number,

Then the function was vertically stretched by factor c,

While, the function gives f(x-c),

Then the function was shifted c unit right.

Hence, the graph of  was shifted 5 unit right side then stretched vertically by the factor 100 to create the graph of
