<span>D) 9.0 x 10^10 km
This is more an exercise in handling scientific notation than anything else. Since we have the distance that light travels in 1 second and we want to calculate how far it travels in 5 minutes, we must first calculate how many seconds are in 5 minutes. Simply multiplying 5 by 60 gives us 300 seconds. Now we need to multiply 300 by 3.0x10^8 km. So
300 * 3.0x10^8 = ?
We could first convert 300 into scientific notion, but it's easier to just leave it along and assume that it's 300 x 10^0. So 300 times 3 is 900. And since 0 plus 8 is 8, we have as the answer:
900 x 10^8
But we're not done. The significand has to be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. So let's divide 900 by 100 and add 2 to the exponent. So we get
9 x 10^10
Finally, since our data had 2 significant figures, our result should have that as well. So let's add the 2nd digit getting:
9.0 x 10^10
So we know that light travels 9.0x10^10 km in 5 minutes, and that answer matches option "D" from the available choices.</span>
Answer:
a and b are positive
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
We have to find that a and b are positive or negative.
We have
It means b is positive and greater than 4.
Adding 3 on both sides
Hence, a is positive and greater than 4.
Therefore, a and b are positive
Answer:
See explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need a point and a slope to have a point slope equation.
We need a slope and y-intercept to write in slope intercept form.
A) 
or 
B) 
C) 
D) 
For this case we have:
Be a function of the form 
Where:
If we want to find f (-2), we substitute 
, then:
Since we have a negative root, the result will be given by complex numbers. By definition:
So:
Answer:
Move down c units means minus 2 from whole function
f(x) moved down 2 units means f(x)-2
so
f(x)-2=2x²-8-2
f(x)-2=2x²-10
g(x)=2x²-10
