With scientific notation remember this rule; if the exponent is positive, move the decimal point that many places to the right. If it is negative move it that many places to the left. What that will do is make the number larger or smaller to the correct value.
So for example, if you had to solve 1.02 x 10^4 you would move the decimal four places to the right. So you would end up with 10200.
As another example if you had to solve 1.02 x 10^-2 you would move the decimal two places to the left. That would give you .0120.
So now we are onto your problem. 2.606 x 10^7.
You would move the decimal seven places to the right, because the exponent is positive, that will make your number larger(which would make more sense if you were adding populations, right?).
That would give you 26,060,000 people living in Texas.
From there simply add the two populations together and you will have your answer!
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equations f(x) = 2x - 3 and g(x) = 6 + 8/x.
We want to find f(g(4))
Essentially, what we are doing, is plugging in 4 into x for g(x) and the outcome of that is what we plug into x for f(x)
So first lets plug in 4 into x for g(x)
g(x) = 6 + 8/x.
We want to find g(4)
g(4) = 6 + 8/4
First divide 8 by 4
g(4) = 6 + 2
Then add 6 and 2
g(4) = 8
Now that we have found g(4) we want to plug the value of g(4), so 8 into f(x)
f(x) = 2x - 3
we want to find f(8)
f(8) = 2(8) - 3
* multiply 2 and 8 *
f(8) = 16 - 3
* subtract 3 from 16 *
f(8) = 13
and we are done!
So we can conclude that f(g(4)) = 13
8c-3d is the correct answer
