Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to create an equation that will give you the results with the correct units of measurement that they are asking for.  In the first question, they are asking you to give the answer in seconds.  So when you set up your equation, seconds have to be on the top.  The way to think of this is to actually reword the statement they give you by saying in 1 second, light travels 3 x 10 to the 8th power which is 3 with 8 zeros after it.  Then it's easier to set up the equation as below.  The distance from the Sun to Mars is 230,000,000,000 meters which is the same as saying 2300 x 10 to the 8th power.  Notice I counted 8 of the zeros and used that in the exponent but left the rest as part of the original number.  This will make it easier since you are dealing with two number that have exponents raised to the same power of 8.

   1 sec          2300 x 10⁸ m

--------------  X  --------------------  =

 3 x 10⁸ m             1

When you look at this equation it looks difficult but since both the top number and bottom number are exponents raised to the same power, they cancel each other out.  So you can drop the exponent all together and just divide the top number by the bottom number  2300 ÷ 3 which equals 766 seconds.

The second question needs you to take the distant the Sun is from Earth and subtract that from the distance from the Sun to Mars.  By subtracting those two, it will tell you how far Mars is from the Earth.  You can change the numbers a little bit to make it easier on you.  Again you want the exponent for both numbers to be the same to make it easier.  When you subtract two number with the exact same exponent, you can just subtract the number and then use that same exponent as part of your answer.

The distance between the Sun and Mars is 23 with 10 zeros after it.  So that is the same as writing 23 x 10¹⁰.  The distance from the Sun to Earth is said to be 1.5 x 10¹¹ but that is a different exponent.  So if you move the decimal on this number one place to the right, it will be 15 x 10¹⁰.  Now you can easily subtract those numbers without worrying about the exponent since they are the same.

23-15 =8  but now you have to put the exponent back on.  So your answer ends up being

8 x 10¹⁰  or 8 with 10 zeros or 80,000,000,000 meters.

kaheart [24]
By definition we have to:
 Monomy: Algebraic expression that consists of a single term or in which the terms that form it are related by the product operation.
 For example:
 ax^2
 It is a monomial.
 In this case we have the following expression:
 18x
 Using the given definition, we have that the expression is a monomial.

Answer:

similar triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, what are similar shapes? Well, two shapes are similar if you can turn one into the other by moving, rotating, flipping, or scaling. That means you can make one shape bigger or smaller. In this case, we know that triangles ABC and DEF are mathematically similar. The area of triangles ABC is , so we need to know the area of triangle DEF.

From math, let's call  the scaling factor, so we know that for any similar figures, the ratio of the areas of any are in proportion to . In other words, if  is the area of triangle ABC, and  is the area of triangle DEF, then we can write the following relationship:

Solve the equation to find where the treste ground levelEnter your answers from least to greatest and round to the nearest The m
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The trestle meets ground level at 0.875 units and 9.125 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Poorly formatted question.

The given equation is:

y = -x^2 + 10x - 8

Required

The point where the trestle gets to the ground level

To do this, we set y = 0

So, we have:

-x^2 + 10x - 8 = 0

Multiply through by -1

x^2 -10x + 8 = 0

Solve using quadratic formula:

x= \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

Where:

a = 1; b =-10; c = 8

So, we have:

x= \frac{-(-10) \± \sqrt{(-10)^2 - 4*1*8}}{2*1}

x= \frac{-(-10) \± \sqrt{68}}{2*1}

x= \frac{-(-10) \± 8.25}{2}

x= \frac{10 \± 8.25}{2}

Solve the fraction

x= 5 \± 4.125

Split

x= 5 + 4.125\ or\ x= 5 - 4.125

x= 9.125\ or\ x= 0.875
