How do you do this problem? I don't understand how you're supposed to
get the answer:
5x10 to the 3rd power = 5,000
5x10 to the -3rd power = -5,000
Is this correct?

Aubin,
The first part of what you wrote is correct; 5x10 to the 3rd power =
5,000. The second part is not correct.
Writing a negative exponent, such as 10^-3 (read that as ten to the
minus third power) is the same as writing 1/(10^3) (read that as one
over ten to the third power). Notice that the exponent is negative
when writing 10^-3 and positive when writing 1/(10^3) - yet the two
numbers are equal.
Remember that any number to the zeroeth power, say 10^0, is equal
to 1. 10^0 = 1; 5^0 = 1; 275^0 = 1.
Remember also that when multiplying two numbers written as
base^exponent, if the base in both numbers is equal then we add
together the exponents: 10^5 x 10^6
= 10^(5+6)
= 10^11.
If we have a number 10^5, what number do we multiply it by to get 1?
Well, 10^5 x 10^(-5)
= 10^(5 + (-5))
= 10^0
= 1.
So if 10^5 x 10^(-5) = 1
then 10^(-5) = 1 / 10^5
So, since 10^3 = 1,000 then 10^(-3) = 1/(10^3) = 1/1,000 = 0.001 .
It follows from this that:
5x10 to the -3rd power = 5 x 10^(-3) = 5 x 0.001 = 0.005 .
The reason for this can be seen by examining what numbers to the right
of the decimal point represent. You know what numbers to the left of
the decimal point represent: the units digit represents the numeral
times 10^0 (any number to the 0th power is 1), the tens digit
represents the numeral times 10^1, the hundreds digit represents the
numeral times 10^2, and so on.
Well, to the right of the decimal point, the tenths digit represents
the numeral times 10^-1, the hundredths digit represents the numeral
times 10^-2, the thousandths digit represents the numeral times 10^-3,
and so on.
It's important to understand exponents because exponents allow us to
extend the range of numbers that we can work with by allowing us to
easily write and work with very large and very small numbers. It's so
much easier to write:
10^23
then to write:
100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Or to write:
10^(-23)
instead of:
0.00000000000000000000001</span></span>
Explanation:
There may be a couple of reasons for this:
1. Each team represents a sample of the players in the league. The averages of (random) samples can be expected to have a standard deviation that is smaller than the population standard deviation by a factor related to sample size.
2. A team average will result from the players who are played the most. Each team can be expected to field players more often whose averages are among the highest. The standard deviation of a set of the top tier of players will necessarily be smaller than the standard deviation of the set of all players.
Okay. The formula for simple interest is prt. You multiply the principal (initial amount) by the rate (percentage) by the time (months or years). $1,800 is the principal and 6.5% is the percentage rate. 1,800 * 6.5% (0.065) is 117. You earn $117 in interest annually. The time period is 30 months. There are 12 months in 1 year. Divide the amount of months by 12 to put it in a decimal. 30/12 is 2.5. Now, multiply 117 by 2.5 to find the total amount of interest earned. 117 * 2.5 is 292.5. There. The total amount of interest earned is $292.50.
