Answer:
- 100
- 489.190
- 10,000
- 48,919,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Each factor of 10 in the divisor causes the decimal point to move 1 place to the left.
a) The decimal point has moved 2 places to the left. The divisor is 10^2 = 100.
b) The divisor is 10^3, so the decimal point will move 3 places to the left.
489.190
c) The decimal point has moved 4 places to the left, so the divisor is 10^4 = 10,000.
d) The divisor is 10^5, so the decimal point in the quotient if 5 places to the left of where it is in the dividend. Moving the quotient's decimal point 5 places to the right gives ...
48,919,000

<em>Additional comment</em>
An exponent signifies repeated multiplication. Here, we're concerned with repeatedly multiplying (or dividing) by factors of 10. The exponent indicates the number of factors: 10·10 = 10^2 = 100. It also matches the number of zeros following the 1 in the product. 1000 = 10^3 has 3 zeros after the 1, for example.
Answer:
Exponential Decay
Step-by-step explanation:
It's exponential growth when your base value is > 1. Example:
1.3ˣ, 2ˣ, 7ˣ, 999ˣ
It's exponential decay when the base value is < 1. Example:
0.9ˣ, 0.45ˣ, (1/2)ˣ, 0.79ˣ, .999ˣ
It's neither when the base value = 1. Example:
1ˣ
