<h3>Answer:  4.2913 * 10^8</h3>

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

Work Shown:

4.3*10^8 = 4.3 * 10^(3+5)

4.3*10^8 = 4.3 * 10^3*10^5

4.3*10^8 = 4.3*1000*10^5

4.3*10^8 = 4300*10^5

Priscilla has 4300*10^5 strands of hair while Diego has 8.7 * 10^5 strands. Subtract the values out front: 4300-8.7 = 4291.3

Then tack on the "*10^5" portion to get 4291.3*10^5

The difference in the number of strands is 4291.3*10^5

Convert this to scientific notation to get the final answer.

4291.3*10^5 = (4291.3)*10^5

4291.3*10^5 = (4.2913 * 1000)*10^5

4291.3*10^5 = 4.2913 * 1000*10^5

4291.3*10^5 = 4.2913 * 10^3*10^5

4291.3*10^5 = 4.2913 * 10^(3+5)

4291.3*10^5 = 4.2913 * 10^8

Note: The number 4.2913 * 10^8 expands out to 429,130,000 which is a little over 429 million.

Solve the quadratic formula <br> 2x^2+9x=-7
andriy [413]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² + 9x = -7

2x² + 9x + 7 = 0

When we multiply we should get 2*7 = 14 and when we add we should get 9. Find the factors of 14 ---> 1,2,7,14. Factors are 2,7 as when we multiply we get 14 and we we add, get 9

2x² + 2x + 7x + 7 = 0

2x( x + 1) + 7 (x + 1) = 0

(x  + 1)(2x + 7) = 0
