When you have an exponent that is negative, it means to take reciprocal of the fraction then take it the power.
Some examples:
5^-2 = 1/5^2 = 1/25
10^-3 = 1/10^-3 = 1/1000

3000000...........
10^6 =1000000 (3) = 3000000
Rewrite the parabola in standard form and use this formula to find the vertex (h,k).
= (2,-1)
So if we think of a test tube, it looks sort of like a cylinder. This means that its cross-section would be a circle. To find out how many turns a piece of thread would make around the test tube, we need to find the circumference of the test tube, then divide the length of the string by the circumference.
Step 1) Find the circumference
C = pi x diameter
C = 3.14 x 3
C = 9.42
Step 2) Divide the length of the string by the circumference
90.42 / 9.42 = 9.5987
The string would make approximately 9.60 turns around the test tube.
Hope this helps!! :)
