<span>D) 9.0 x 10^10 km
This is more an exercise in handling scientific notation than anything else. Since we have the distance that light travels in 1 second and we want to calculate how far it travels in 5 minutes, we must first calculate how many seconds are in 5 minutes. Simply multiplying 5 by 60 gives us 300 seconds. Now we need to multiply 300 by 3.0x10^8 km. So
300 * 3.0x10^8 = ?
We could first convert 300 into scientific notion, but it's easier to just leave it along and assume that it's 300 x 10^0. So 300 times 3 is 900. And since 0 plus 8 is 8, we have as the answer:
900 x 10^8
But we're not done. The significand has to be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. So let's divide 900 by 100 and add 2 to the exponent. So we get
9 x 10^10
Finally, since our data had 2 significant figures, our result should have that as well. So let's add the 2nd digit getting:
9.0 x 10^10
So we know that light travels 9.0x10^10 km in 5 minutes, and that answer matches option "D" from the available choices.</span>
Answer:
(1, - 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Under a counterclockwise rotation about the origin of 90°
a point (x, y ) → (- y, x ), thus
T(- 3, - 1 ) → T'(1, - 3 )
Answer:
8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
t = a + b/2 times 2
2 + 6 = 8
8/2 = 4
4 x 2 = 8
Answer:
1/5^9
Step-by-step explanation:
You keep the 5 the same
Then you subtract the exponents...
-6 - 3 = -9
Since it’s negative and you can’t have a negative exponent you have to put a 1 as the numerator. So...
1/5^9
The basic dimensions of any triangle are its area, base, and height.
They're related by the area equation; the area is half of the base times the height, or:
We know the area and the height, so the missing dimension has to be the base. Let's set up an equation by substituting the values the problem gives into the area equation.
Can you solve this equation for
?
