Scientific notation means to write the answer in standard form. standard form helps you to express numbers that are too big or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form.
so for this case, it will be 4.571×10^-4.
when the number is decimal, you move the dot to the right and it will always be multiplying 10 to the power of a negative power.

4.571 X 10^-4

you do this by moving the decimal until there is no zeros, to the left of the decimal point.

on Tuesday pierce ran 3/4 mile and walked 3/4 on Wednesday he ran 2/4 mile and walk 1 1/4 miles hiw much farther did pierce run

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

On Tuesday

3/4 + 3/4 = 3/2 = 1 1/2 = 1.5

On Wednesday

2/4 + 1 1/4 = 7/4 = 1 3/4 = 1.75

Then we subtract

1.75 - 1.5 = 0.25

Line segment AB has endpoints A(-1.5, 0) and B(4.5 8). Point C is on line segment AB located at (0, 2)

Pie

Answer:

The ratio of AC/CB=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the section formula:

$(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})$

We substitute the point A(-1.5,0) and B(4.5,8).

We plug in the points to get:

$(\frac{4.5m - 1.5n}{m+n},\frac{8m+n \times 0}{m+n})$

This is supposed to be equal to: (0,2).

$(\frac{4.5m - 1.5n}{m+n},\frac{8m+n \times 0}{m+n}) = (0,2)$

We can equate, corresponding coordinates to find m and n.

$\frac{4.5m - 1.5n}{m + n} = 0$

This implies that:

$4.5m - 1.5n = 0$

$4.5m = 1.5n$

$\frac{m}{n} = \frac{1.5}{4.5}$

$\frac{m}{n} = \frac{1}{3}$

Therefore the ratio is m:n=1:3

CALC BC HELPPP!!!??? 100PTS!!!

the assumption being that "x" is a plain variable whilst "y" is a function, that matters because the chain rule would be needed for a function, not so for a plain variable.

$4x^2+4x+xy=5\implies 8x+4+\stackrel{\textit{product rule}}{\left( 1\cdot y+x\cdot \cfrac{dy}{dx} \right)}=0 \\\\\\ x\cfrac{dy}{dx}=-8x-4-y\implies \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{-8x-4-y}{x}$

now, we know that y(5) = -23, which is another way of saying that when x = 5, y = -23, but we already knew that, we can get that by simply plugging it into the equation hmmm y'(5), well

$\left. \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{-8x-4-y}{x} \right|_{\stackrel{x=5~}{\textit{\tiny y=-23}}}\implies \cfrac{-8(5)-4-(-23)}{5}\implies \cfrac{-21}{5}$
