Correct question is;

Consider the following operations on the number 8.85 x 10^(-2). Without using a calculator, decide which would give a significantly smaller value than 8.85 x 10^(-2), which would give a significantly larger value, or which would give essentially the same value.

A) 8.85 × 10^(-2) + 6.69 × 10^(5)

B) 8.85 x 10^(-2) - 6.69 x 10^(5)

C) 8.85 x 10^(-2) x 6.69 x 10^(5)

D) 8.85 × 10^(-2) ÷ 6.69 × 10^(5)

Answer:

Option A & B yield essentially the same value.

Option C yields a significantly smaller value

Option D yields a significantly larger value

Step-by-step explanation:

Since given value for the operations is in 10^(-2) indices, then let's convert the operations numbers from 10^(5) indices to 10^(-2).

Thus;

6.69 × 10^(5) = (6.69 × 10^(-7)) × 10^(-2)

Thus;

A) 8.85 × 10^(-2) + 6.69 × 10^(5) is now;

8.85 × 10^(-2) + ((6.69 × 10^(-7)) × 10^(-2))

This gives;

[8.85 + (6.69 × 10^(-7))] × 10^(-2)

The 10^(-7) indices indicates that the initial value of 8.85 × 10^(-2) would not change much and would essentially be the same

B) 8.85 x 10^(-2) - 6.69 x 10^(5) is now;

8.85 × 10^(-2) - ((6.69 × 10^(-7)) × 10^(-2))

This gives;

[8.85 - (6.69 × 10^(-7))] × 10^(-2)

Again the 10^(-7) indices indicates that the initial value of 8.85 × 10^(-2) would not change much and would essentially be the same.

C) 8.85 x 10^(-2) x 6.69 x 10^(5) is now;

(8.85 × 10^(-2)) × ((6.69 × 10^(-7)) × 10^(-2))

This gives;

[8.85 × (6.69 × 10^(-7))] × 10^(-2)

When we multiply 8.85 by 6.69 × 10^(-7), the value gotten will be way lower than the initial value of 8.85.

Thus,this operation will give a significantly smaller value.

D) (8.85 × 10-2) ÷ (6.69 × 10^5) is now;

(8.85 × 10^(-2)) ÷ ((6.69 × 10^(-7)) × 10^(-2))

This gives;

[8.85 ÷ (6.69 × 10^(-7))] × 10^(-2)

When we carry out the operation:

8.85 ÷ (6.69 × 10^(-7)), it is essentially equal to (8.85 × 10^(7))/6.69.

This means that the new value would be significantly larger than the initial value of 8.85.

Thus,this operation yields a significantly larger value.

Can someone please help me with this problem? An explanation would be great, but it can be short. Thank you!!
ss7ja [257]

We are given two points: (4, -8) and (8, 5)

General equation of a line: y = mx + c

First find m (the gradient). There is a formula for this: (change in y)/(change in x) = gradient

(5 - -8) / (8 - 4) = (13) / (4) = 3.25 = m

y = 3.25x + c

Now we need to find c (the y-intercept; the value of y when x=0).

Substitute in any one of the coordinates - let's use (8, 5)

(5) = 3.25(8) + c

(5) = 26 + c

c = -21

The equation of the line: y = 3.25x - 21


I think that this answer is correct - sorry if it seems rushed.

Hope this answer helps :)

The histogram to the right represents the weights​ (in pounds) of members of a certain​ high-school math team.
kupik [55]

Answer: There are total 20 team members.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ans: There are total 20 team members.

Concept: In the given picture a graph shows the relation between the number of people and their weight. The y-axis shows the number of team members and the x-axis shows the weight of those particular number of members. So, just notice the number of members corresponding to all the given weights and add them.

Solution step by step

Step 1: Members corresponding to 115kg

There are total 5 members having 115kg weight.

Step 2: Members corresponding to 135kg

There are total 3 members having 135kg weight.

Step 3: Members corresponding to 155kg

There are total 2 members having 155kg weight.

Step 4: Members corresponding to 175kg

There are total 0 members having 175kg weight.

Step 5: Members corresponding to 195kg

There are total 3 members having 195kg weight.

Step 6: Members corresponding to 215kg

There are total 4 members having 215kg weight.

Step 7: Members corresponding to 235kg

There are total 3 members having 235kg weight.

Step 8: Add the number of members

The total number of members are 5+3+2+0+3+4+3=20

So, the total number of members are 20.

What is the formula for finding the perimeter of a quads?
VLD [36.1K]

The formula for finding the perimeter of a quadrilateral is  Length + Length + Width + Width.

<h3>What is Perimeter?</h3>
  • A perimeter is the path that surrounds a certain shape. To calculate the path that surrounds a quadrilateral, we need to get the sum of its four sides, both lengths and widths, lengths being the longest sides and the widths being the shortest.
  • The formula used for calculating perimeter is Perimeter = Length + Length + Width + Width.
  • For instance, to calculate the perimeter of a parallelogram with a side of 5 cm and one of 3 cm, we insert the numbers in their corresponding spot in the formula as such: Perimeter=5+5+3+3=16 cm or since parallelograms have 2 sets of 2 equal sides, we can use this formula Perimeter=(5×2)+(3×2)=10+6=16 cm.
  • For a square on the other hand, we only need to know the length of one side because it has 4 equal sides.

Therefore, the formula for finding the perimeter of a quadrilateral is  Length + Length + Width + Width.

Solve the system of equations. y=23x–19 x2–y= – 6x–23 Write the coordinates as integers, simplified proper or improper fractions
forsale [732]

Answer:

(3, 50) and (14,303)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations;

y=23x–19 ....1

x²–y= – 6x–23 ...2

Substitute 1 into 2;

x²–(23x-19)= – 6x–23

x²–23x+19= – 6x–23 .

x²-23x + 6x + 19 + 23  = 0

x² - 17x + 42 = 0

Factorize;

x² - 14x - 3x + 42 = 0

x(x-14)-3(x-14) = 0

(x-3)(x-14) = 0

x = 3 and 14

If x = 3

y = 23(3) - 19

y = 69-19

y = 50

If x = 14

y = 23(14) - 19

y = 322-19

y = 303

Hence the coordinate solutions are (3, 50) and (14,303)
