What is the purpose of scientific notation?​

Mathematics

Kisachek [45]3 years ago

Answer:

The primary reason for converting numbers into scientific notation is to make calculations with unusually large or small numbers less cumbersome. Because zeros are no longer used to set the decimal point, all of the digits in a number in scientific notation are significant.

From experience... Scientific notation is helpful when discussing very large numbers. For example... when discussing atomic masses, the values are so small... that it is much easier to write in scientific notation that to write out all of the 0's that come after the decimal

The diagonal of a rhombus are 8 cm 6 cm long. What is the area of the rhombus​
IRINA_888 [86]
The area of a rhombus can be found by using the formula:

A = (1/2)(d1)(d2)

Area = (1/2)(8)(6)

Area = 24 cm^2

Your other option is to remember that in a rhombus the diagonals bisect each other, and form right triangles. So you have 4 right triangles each with sides of 4 cm (1/2 of 8 cm) and 3 cm (1/2 of 6 cm). 4 x [(1/2) x (4)(3)] = 4 x 6 = 24 cm^2.

Write an equation of a parabola that opens to the left, has a vertex at the origin, and a focus at (–9, 0.
Georgia [21]
The standard equation of parabola:

(y-k)²=4p(x-h), with:

a) vertex = (h,k)

b) focus = (h+p, k)

c) directrix = (x=h-p)


Since this parabola has a vertex at (0,0) that means h=k=0

Hence the equation becomes: y²=4px, let's calculate p:
focus is given (-9,0) Remember h+p = -9 & since h=0, then p= -9
===> y²= - 36x

Which ordered pair (x, y) can be added to the table so that y is still a function of x?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

B. (3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

For the table to still be a function, any added pair should not result into any x-value having different y-values. This is because, for the table to remain a function, no x-value should give different y-values. That is, each x-value must have exactly one y-value.

❌If we add the ordered pair in option A, (6, 4) to the table, y is no longer a function of x, because we would be having an x-value of 6 giving us different y-values of -13 and 4.

✅If we add the ordered pair in option B, (3, -2) to the table, y would remain a function of x, because we would be having each x-value having exactly one y-value.

❌If we add the ordered pair in option C, (0, 4) to the table, y is no longer a function of x, because we would be having an x-value of 0 giving us different y-values of -1 and 4.

❌If we add the ordered pair in option D, (-2, 5) to the table, y is no longer a function of x, because we would be having an x-value of -2 giving us different y-values of 3 and 5.

The answer is B. (3, -2).
