Hello!

3.7x-15.9=3.7

why is 3.7:

3.7x to power 1+1

3.7x to power 0

3.7 * 1

=3.7

How to evaluate question number 4

ANTONII [103]

There are 2 ways that spring to mind.

One is to use the definition of the derivative at a point:

$f'(c)=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to c}\frac{f(x)-f(c)}{x-c}$

In this case, $c=0$ and $f(x)=\sqrt{5-x}$ . Then

$f'(x)=-\dfrac1{2\sqrt{5-x}}\implies f'(0)=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sqrt{5-x}-\sqrt5}x=-\dfrac1{2\sqrt5}$

If you don't know about derivative yet (I would think you do, considering this is for a midterm in AP Calc, but I digress), the other way is to rely on algebraic manipulation. Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the numerator to get

$\dfrac{\sqrt{5-x}-\sqrt5}x\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{5-x}+\sqrt5}{\sqrt{5-x}+\sqrt5}=\dfrac{\left(\sqrt{5-x}\right)^2-\left(\sqrt5\right)^2}{x\left(\sqrt{5-x}+\sqrt5\right)}=-\dfrac x{x\left(\sqrt{5-x}+\sqrt5\right)}=-\dfrac1{\sqrt{5-x}+\sqrt5}$

This is continuous at $x=0$ , so the limit is the value of the expression at $x=0$ :

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sqrt{5-x}-\sqrt5}x=-\lim_{x\to0}\frac1{\sqrt{5-x}+\sqrt5}=-\frac1{2\sqrt5}$

An electron has an atomic mass of 5.4 x 10-4. If a carbon atom has 6 electrons, what is the combined atomic mass of the electron

Gwar [14]

<span>6*5.4*10^(-4)
=32.4*10^(-4)
move the decimal point, in scientific notation you only have a single digit with comma
=3.2*10^(-3)

so option A

to know if you have to increase or decrease the exponent you can write the intermediary steps out:</span>
32.4*10^(-4)=32.4/10^4=<span>(3.24*10)/(10*10^3)
reduce the fraction and you have the above solution
