The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

7.8 × 10⁷

Explanation:

To write a number in scientific notation, we want the decimal behind the first non-zero digit in the number. The first non-zero digit in 78 is 7; this means we want 7.8. In order to have the decimal point behind the 7, we need to move the decimal 7 places. This is the exponent of 10 in our scientific notation, which gives us

7.8 × 10⁷

Find the fifth term and the nth term of the geometric sequence whose initial term, a, and common ratio, r, are given. a = 3 ; r

Anna [14]

Answer: 1875

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a geometric progression is given as:

= ar^n-1

Given a = 3 ; r = 5, the nth term will be:

= ar^n-1

= 3 × 5^n-1

The fifth term will be:

= 3 × 5^n-1

= 3 × 5^5-1

= 3 × 5⁴

= 3 × 625

= 1875

The fifth term is 1875

300 ml over 15 min is what rate of ml per hour

Mama L [17]

Answer:

1200 ml per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

To compute what rate is 300 ml over 15 mins as a rate of ml per hour, we do a rule of 3, using a variable x as that amount of ml we don't know yet. We should have everything in the same units, so instead of writing 1 hour we write 60 minutes:

$\frac{300~ml}{15~min}=\frac{x~ml}{60~mins}$

Now we solve for x:

$\frac{300~ml}{15~min}\cdot 60~mins=x~ml$

$\frac{18000~ml}{15} =x~ml$

$1200~ml =x~ml$

And so, now that we know the value of x, the rate we wanted to find is

$\frac{1200~ml}{60~mins}$

Which is just 1200 ml per hour.

What is the slope-intercept equation of the line below? y - i ntercept = (0, - 4) slope = 3

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

y = 3x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept equation looks like this: $y = mx +b$ . Where m is the slope of the function and b is the y-coordinate of the vertical intercept (where the function crosses the y-axis). Let's apply the formula:

$y = mx +b$

$y = 3x +(-4)$

$y = 3x -4$
