Answer:
(A) 509.78
We need to move the decimal point after the first non-zero digit
So,
=> 5.0978 × 10² (Since the decimal point is moved two places to the left)
(B) 0.0289
Again after the first non-zero digit:
So, it becomes:
=> 2.89 × 10⁻² (Since the decimal point is moved 2 places to the right so it will be negative also)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We can add a line to create a triangle and a rectangle. The triangle will have side lengths 10 and 6. Furthermore, it will be a right triangle, meaning we can apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find x, the hypotenuse.

Answer: 12:5
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2.54 cm in 1 inch. Since we are estimating, we can round the average growth per year to .5 cm which would give you roughly 5 years per inch of diameter (2.5 / .5 = 5). Since we have a tree with a 4 inch diameter, we can estimate the age of the tree is...
4 inches x 5 years/inch = 20 years old.
The answer is $53
<span>x - age in years
y - total value in dollars

If the equation is y = 2x + 15, then after 19 years, the value will be:
x = 19
y = 2x + 15
y = 2 * 19 + 15
y = 38 + 15
y = 53
