Answer:

You're less likely to make mistakes reading or writing very big and very small numbers if you use scientific notation. It also makes it much easier to tell at a glance which numbers are bigger or smaller without counting long strings of zeros.

Answer:

Scientific notation is used to write very large or very small numbers using less digits. ... See how scientists use this notation to describe astronomical distances, such as the distance between planets, or microscopic distances, such as the length of a blood cell.

Which is Bigger?

igomit [66]

A)
$43\%=\frac{43}{100} \\ \\
\frac{24}{60}=\frac{4}{10}=\frac{40}{100} \\ \\
43>40 \Rightarrow \frac{43}{100} > \frac{40}{100} \Rightarrow 43\% > \frac{24}{60}$

43% is bigger.

b)
$\frac{18}{30}=\frac{6}{10}=\frac{60}{100} \\ \\
0.51=\frac{51}{100} \\ \\
60>51 \Rightarrow \frac{60}{100} > \frac{51}{100} \Rightarrow \frac{18}{30} >0.51$

18/30 is bigger.

Given the function f(x)=4x^8+7x^7+1x^6+1 What is the value of f(−2)?

qwelly [4]

f(x)=4x^8+7x^7+1x^6+
∴ f(-2)=4(-2)^8+7(-2)^7+1(-2)^6+1
∴ f(-2)=(4x256) + (7x-128) + (1x64) +1
∴ f(-2)=1024 - 896 + 64 +1
∴ f(-2)= 193

Please explain how you got this answer.

Tema [17]

150 times

out of the first 5 cards, there is a 3/5 chance of drawing a yellow.
if you replace the card and draw again, you still have a 3/5 chance of drawing a yellow card.
keep doing this process for 250 draws, each draw will always have 3/5 chance of drawing a yellow card.

so 3/5 +3/5 +3/5 +... (250 times) = 250 x 3/5 = 150
