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

Points A and B are the endpoints of an arc of a circle. Chords are drawn from the two endpoints to a third point, C, on the circ

RSB [31]

Answer:

146°

Step-by-step explanation:

Points A and B are the endpoints of an arc of a circle. Chords are drawn from the two endpoints to a third point, C, on the circle. Given m arch AB=64° and ⦣ABC=73°, m ⦣ABC=__ ° and m arch AC=__ °.

Solution:

Given that:

arc AB = 64° and ⦣ABC=73°

The Central Angle Theorem states that the central angle from two chosen points A and B on the circle is always twice the inscribed angle from those two points. The inscribed angle is any point along the outer arc AB and the two points A and B.

Therefore arc AC is the central angle of ⦣ABC. Using the central angle theorem gives:

arc AC = 2 * ⦣ABC

substituting:

arc AC = 2 * 73

arc AC = 146°

What is the third quartile, Q3, of the following distribution?

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The third quartile is:

$Q_3=29$

Step-by-step explanation:

First organize the data from lowest to highest

4, 5, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 21, 22, 22, 24, 26, 29, 29, 33, 34, 43, 44

Notice that we have a quantity of n = 20 data

Use the following formula to calculate the third quartile $Q_3$

For a set of n data organized in the form:

$x_1, x_2, x_3, ..., x_n$

The third quartile is $Q_3$ :

$Q_3=x_{\frac{3}{4}(n+1)}$

With n=20

$Q_3=x_{\frac{3}{4}(20+1)}$

$Q_3=x_{15.75}$

The third quartile is between $x_{15}=29$ and $x_{16}=29$

Then

$Q_3 =x_{15} + 0.75*(x_{16}- x_{15})$

$Q_3 =29 + 0.75*(29- 29)\\\\Q_3 =29$

Write an equation of the line that passes through 9, 6 and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y equals -1 over 3 x +

asambeis [7]

If the line that goes through (9, 6) is perpendicular to y = -1/3x + 7, then their slopes will be opposite reciprocals. The slope of the line given is -1/3. The opposite reciprocal of -1/3 is +3. If we have our new line passing through point with x coordinate 9 and y coordinate 6, we will use that x and y and the slope of 3 to solve the slope-intercept equation for b. Like this: 9 = 3(6) + b. 9 = 18 + b and b = -9. That means that the new equation, the one that is perpendicular to the given line, is y = 3x - 9.
