Answer:

We move the decimal point to the right by a number of digit places equal to  the power of 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to multiply a decimal by a power of 10, we move the decimal point to the right by a number of digit places which is the power of the number ten or the number of zeros which are present in the multiplying number 10. If we do not have a digit after the last digit, we put zeros to complete the number of digits until, we have the number of digit places added after the decimal point which are equal to the power of 10.

Using the example given above

8.653 x 10000, we have four zeros. So, in index form it is

8.653 x 10⁴

Since we have the number 10 raised to the power of four or having 4 zeros, we move the decimal point 4 places to the right.

So, 8.653 x 10000 = 8.653 x 10⁴ = 86530

Answer: 4x'6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify x5 /8. Than, Equation at the end of step  1  :   x5   ——) • x)1) ÷ 4   8  

Step  2  :  2.1     16 = 24  (16)1 = (24)1 = 24  2.2    x6 raised to the 1 st power = x( 6 * 1 ) = x6

Step  3  :     24x6  Simplify   ————    4  

Dividing exponents :   3.1    24   divided by   22   = 2(4 - 2) = 22

which brings us to our final answer above

Describe how to draw a line that passes through the origin and has a slope of -2/-3?
Sophie [7]
First of all you know it wiill be a positive slope as both the rise and the run are negative. a negative divided by a negative equals a positive. so you can plot the points (2,3) and (-2,-3) as they will be points on this line. next you take a straight line and place it so that both points are intercepted. then extend the line outwards.
