Stephen evaluated (6.34 x 10^-7)(4.5 x 10^3). His work is shown below. Which statements describe his errors? Check all that appl

y.
(6.34 x 10^-7)(4.5 x 10^3)
(6.34 x 4.5)(10^-7 x 10^3)
28.53 x 10^-4
-28.53 x 10^4
-2.853 x 10^3
A. He changed the sign of the coefficient. A negative exponent does not affect the sign of a coefficient in scientific notation. The sign of the exponent determines the direction the decimal is moved in.

B. He rewrote -28.53 x 10^4 incorrectly; 28.53 x 10^4 = 2.853 x 10^5. The exponent is increased to account for the extra place the decimal is moved.

C. He did not correctly evaluate the exponent. It should be evaluated as (10^-7 x 10^3) = 10^3 since exponents are evaluated using the same operation as the coefficients.

D. He got the wrong value for the coefficients; 28.53 x 10^-4 is not possible. The coefficients in scientific notation are always greater than 1, but less than 10.

F. He multiplied the coefficients; he should have added 6.34 and 4.5. The product of powers rule states that coefficients are added.

Keep in mind that there is multiple answers.

Answer:

wrong A And B

He changed the sign of the coefficient. A negative exponent does not affect the sign of a coefficient in scientific notation. The sign of the exponent determines the direction the decimal is moved in.

He rewrote Negative 28.53 times 10 Superscript 4 incorrectly; 28.53 times 10 Superscript 4 Baseline = 2.853 times 10 Superscript 5. The exponent is increased to account for the extra place the decimal is moved.

We have the following expression:
 (6.34 x 10 ^ -7) (4.5 x 10 ^ 3)
 The solution shown is:
 (6.34 x 10 ^ -7) (4.5 x 10 ^ 3)
 (6.34 x 4.5) (10 ^ -7 x 10 ^ 3)
 28.53 x 10 ^ -4
 -28.53 x 10 ^ 4
 -2.853 x 10 ^ 3
 The errors are:
 A. He changed the sign of the coefficient. A negative exponent does not affect the sign of a coefficient in scientific notation. The sign of the exponent determines the direction the decimal is moved in.
 D. He got the wrong value for the coefficients; 28.53 x 10^-4 is not possible. The coefficients in scientific notation are always greater than 1, but less than 10.

1] If 221ₓ= 25₁₀ find X<br> 2] if 3ₓ + 34ₓ - 40ₓ = 0 find x<br> 3] if 23ₓ = 1111₂ find x
Olin [163]

1.

2\cdot x^2+2\cdot x^1+1\cdot x^0=25\\2x^2+2x+1=25\\2x^2+2x-24=0\\x^2+x-12=0\\x^2+4x-3x-12=0\\x(x+4)-3(x+4)=0\\(x-3)(x+4)=0\\x=3 \vee x=-4

The base can't be negative, therefore x=3.

2.

3\cdot x^0+3\cdot x^1+4\cdot x^0-4\cdot x^1+0\cdot x^0=0\\3+3x+4-4x=0\\x=7

3.

2\cdot x^1+3\cdotx^0=1\cdot 2^3+1\cdot2^2+1\cdot2^1+1\cdot2^0\\2x+1=8+4+2+1\\2x=14\\x=7

The value of y is directly proportional to the value of x. When x=3.5, the value of y is 14. What is the value of y when x = 28?
inna [77]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 14

14 x 2 = 28

Therefore:

3.5 x 2 = 7
