What are the zeros of the function?

Explain how negative powers of 10 can be helpful when writing and comparing small numbers

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Powers of 10 is a very useful way of writing down large or small numbers.

Instead of having lots of zeros, you show how many powers of 10 will make that many zeros.

When you work with small numbers, you should use the negative powers of 10. Just remember for negative powers of 10, move the decimal point to the left. For example,

$0.36=3.6\cdot 10^{-1}\ [\text{Move the decimal point one place to the left}]\\ \\0.036=3.6\times 10^{-2}\ [\text{Move the decimal point two places to the left}]\\ \\0.0036=3.6\times 10^{-3}\ [\text{Move the decimal point three places to the left}]\\ \\...$

When comparing small numbers, write these numbers in scientific notation (only one non-xero digit must be before point) and then

if the powers of 10 are the same in compared numbers are the same, just compare the numbers which are multiplied by these powers of 10. For example, $3.6\times 10^{-6}>2.6\times 10{-6},$ because powers are the same (-6) and $3.6>2.6$
if the powers are different, then the smaller is power, the smaller is number (number with the smaller negative power has more places after decimal point). For example, $3.6\times 10^{-6}> 2.6\times 10^{-7},$ because $-6>-7$

Jada was using square stickers that were 3/4in long to decorate the spine of a photo album. The spine is 10 and 1/2in long. If s

nevsk [136]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Square stickers that were 3/4 in long
The spine is 10 and 1/2 in long

If she laid the stickers side by side without gaps or overlaps so the number of sticker to cover the length of the spine:

$\frac{The length of the spine}{the length of the sticker}$

10 : $\frac{3}{4}$ ≈13

She needs 13 stickers cover the length of the spine

A) Write the sequence of natural numbers which are multiplied by 3 ?

Volgvan

Answer:

a) 3, 6, 9, 12, 15,..., $3\cdot n$ , b) 4, 7, 10, 13, 16,..., $3\cdot n +1$ , c) Both sequences are arithmetic.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The sequence of natural numbers which are multiplied by 3 are represented by the function $f(n) = 3\cdot n$ , $n\in \mathbb{N}$ . Let see the first five elements of the sequence: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15,...

b) The sequence of natural numbers which are multiplied by 3 and added to 1 is represented by the function $f(n) = 3\cdot n + 1$ , $n\in \mathbb{N}$ . Let see the first five elements of the sequence: 4, 7, 10, 13, 16,...
