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.

PLEASE HELP ME:<br><br> Find the perimeter of the figure. Round to the nearest tenth.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

perimeter = 20.9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter

perimeter = distance around two dimensional shape

= addition of all sides lengths

<h2>perimeter of the figure</h2><h2>= AB+BC+CD+AD</h2>

distance formula:

$d = \sqrt{( x_{2} - x_{1}) {}^{2} + ( y_{2} - y_{1}) {}^{2} }$

<h3>1) distance of AB</h3>

A(-3,0) B(2,4)

x1 = -3 x2 = 2

y1 = 0 y2 = 4

(substitute the values into the distance formula)

$ab = \sqrt{(2 - ( - 3)) {}^{2} + (4 - 0) {}^{2} }$

$ab = \sqrt{5 {}^{2} + 4 {}^{2} }$

$ab = \sqrt{41}$ AB = 6.4 units

<h3>2) distance of BC</h3>

B(2,4) C(3,1)

x1 = 2 x2 = 3

y1 = 4 y2 = 1

$bc = \sqrt{(3 - 2) {}^{2} + (1 - 4) {}^{2} }$

$bc = \sqrt{1 {}^{2} + ( - 3) {}^{2} }$

$bc = \sqrt{10}$

BC = 3.2 units

<h3>3) distance of CD</h3>

C(3,1) D(-4,-3)

x1 = 3 x2 = -4

y1 = 1 y2 = -3

$cd = \sqrt{( - 4 - 3) {}^{2} + ( - 3 - 1)) {}^{2} }$

$cd = \sqrt{( - 7) {}^{2} + ( - 4 ){}^{2} }$

$cd = \sqrt{65}$

CD = 8.1 units

<h3>4) distance of AD</h3>

A(-3,0) D(-4,-3)

x1 = -3 x2 = -4

y1 = 0 y2 = -3

$ad = \sqrt{( - 4 - ( - 3)) {}^{2} + ( - 3 - 0) {}^{2} }$

$ad = \sqrt{( - 1) {}^{2} + ( - 3) {}^{2} }$

$ad = \sqrt{10}$

AD = 3.2 units

<h2>perimeter of figure</h2>

= AB+BC+CD+AD

= 6.4 + 3.2 + 8.1 + 3.2

= 20.9 units

How to find slope y=3x+5

klemol [59]

This equation is in slope-intercept form; y = mx+b.

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, so to find the slope you'd look at the coefficient of x.

In this equation, y = 3x+5, the coefficient of x is 3, so that means that the slope of this equation is 3.

Answer is:

3 is the slope
