What we know:
quotient 9.2 x 10^6/ 2.3 x 10²
in quotients exponents are subtracted of they have the same base, for example 10^6 and 10² have the same base of 10
What we need to find: quotient 9.2 x 10^6/ 2.3 x 10²
9.2 x 10^6
-------------- = 4 x 10^4
2.3 x 10²
Here in this problem I divided 9.2 by 2.3 and got 4, since the solution was simple and clean meaning no repeated decimals I went ahead and divided the 10^6 by 10^2 and got 10^4.
Another method would be to expand both numbers then divide and do scientific notation again.
Remember to change to normal notation you move the decimal to the right using the number of the exponent.
9.2 x 10^6= 9200000
2.3 x 10²= 230
920000/230=40000
40000= 4 x 10^4 scientific notation
Use the method that is best for you or just know you can use either method to check your work.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
The height of the dock (h) = 6
Let represent d to be the distance between the boat and the dock
Let the length of the rope between the boat and the drum be denoted by (l)
Then, the rate of change for the length of the rope be:
dl/dt = -5 ft/s
Using Pythagoras rule to determine the relationship between these values, we have:



We relate to: 
From the question;
l = 34,
So to find
, we get;




d = 33.46
So, we have:




The student with the correct answer is Dylan who says the decimal should be placed between the 8 and 0.
This is base on the estimation that 3.01 is a two decimal place number, so the product 18.06 should also be in 2 decimal place.
<h3>How to find product of decimal number?</h3>
A decimal number is a number expressed in the decimal system (base 10).
Place value:
- Ten thousand
- Thousand
- Hundred
- Ten
- ones
- . decimal point
- tenth
- hundredths
- thousandth
- ten thousandth
- hundred thousandth
6 × 3.01
3.01
- 3 = ones
- . = decimal point
- 0 = tenth
- 1 = hundredth
6 × 3.01
= 18.06
Therefore, Lucas is incorrect with his answer that the decimal should be placed between the 1 and 8.

Answer:
(a) (5, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The "substitution method" for solving a system of equations requires that you write an expression that can be substituted for a variable in one or more of the other equations in the system.
<h3>Expression to substitute</h3>
The given equations are ...
We notice the first equation gives an expression for y. This is exactly what we want to substitute for y in the second equation.
<h3>Substitution</h3>
When the expression (x-8) is substituted for y in the second equation, you get ...
2x +3(x -8) = 1
This simplifies to ...
5x -24 = 1
<h3>Solution</h3>
This 2-step equation can now be solved in the usual way:
5x = 25 . . . . . . add 24 to isolate the variable term
x = 25/5 = 5 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Note that we now know what the correct answer choice is.
Using the expression for y, we find ...
y = x -8 = 5 -8 = -3
The solution is (x, y) = (5, -3).
