Taylor states that 2,800,000 in scientific notation is 2.8 x 10 -6 because the number has six places to the right of the 2. Is T

Scientific Notation is the way of <u>writing a number or expressing them</u> in a <u>shorter or more compact way.</u>

No, <u>Taylor's resoning is incorrect</u> because  2,800,000 = 2.8  * 10^{6}

From the question, we are given:

2,800,000 .

2,800,000 in scientific notation is  2.8  * 10^{6}.  

The reason the power is not to the negative 6 is that we are moving from the right-hand side to the left-hand side 6 times.

Therefore, <u>Taylor's reasoning is incorrect. </u>

Cory writes the polynomial x7 3x5 3x 1. Melissa writes the polynomial x7 5x 10. Is there a difference between the degree of the
bagirrra123 [75]

Degree of a polynomial gives the highest power of its terms. Yes there is a difference between the degrees of sum and difference of the polynomials.

<h3>What is degree of a polynomial?</h3>

Degree of a polynomial is the highest power that its terms pertain(for multi-variables, the power of term is addition of power of variables in that term).

Thus, in x^3 + 3x^2 + 5, the degree of the polynomial is 3 as the highest power in its terms is 3.

(power and exponent are same thing)

<h3>What are like terms?</h3>

Those terms which have same variables raised with same powers.

For example, x^3 and 3x^3  are like terms since variable is same, and it is raised to same power 3.

For example 4x^2 and x^3 are not like terms as the variables are same but powers aren't same.

The given polynomials are:

c(x) = x^7 + 3x^5 + 3x + 1\\\\p(x) = x^7 + 5x + 10

Their sum is

c(x) + p(x)  = x^7 + 3x^5 + 3x + 1 + x^7 + 5x + 10 = (1+1)x^7 + 3x^5 + (3+5)x + 11\\\\c(x) + p(x) = 2x^7 + 3x^5 + 8x + 11

(only like terms' coefficients can be added (or subtracted) for addition or subtraction of them )

The sum's degree is 7

Their difference is:

c(x) - p(x) = x^7 + 3x^5 + 3x + 1 - x^7 -5x - 10 = (1-1)x^7 + 3x^5  +(3-5)x -9\\\\c(x) - p(x) = 3x^5 - 2x - 9

Difference's degree is 5

Thus, both's degrees are not same.

Thus, Yes there is a difference between the degrees of sum and difference of the polynomials.

A cylinder has radius r and height h. A. How many times greater is the surface area of a cylinder when both dimensions are multi
Ierofanga [76]

Answer: A. Factor 2 => 4x greater

                   Factor 3 => 9x greater

                   Factor 5 => 25x greater

Step-by-step explanation: A. A cylinder is formed by 2 circles and a rectangle in the middle. That's why surface area is given by circumference of a circle, which is the length of the rectangle times height of the rectangle, i.e.:

A = 2.π.r.h

A cylinder of radius r and height h has area:

A_{1} = 2πrh

If multiply both dimensions <u>by a factor of 2</u>:

A_{2} = 2.π.2r.2h

A_{2} = 8πrh

Comparing A_{1} to A_{2} :

\frac{A_{2}}{A_{1}} = \frac{8.\pi.rh}{2.\pi.rh} = 4

Doubling radius and height creates a surface area of a cylinder 4 times greater.

<u>By factor 3:</u>

A_{3} = 2.\pi.3r.3h

A_{3} = 18.\pi.r.h

Comparing areas:

\frac{A_{3}}{A_{1}} = \frac{18.\pi.r.h}{2.\pi.r.h} = 9

Multiplying by 3, gives an area 9 times bigger.

<u>By factor 5</u>:

A_{5} = 2.\pi.5r.5h

A_{5} = 50.\pi.r.h

Comparing:

\frac{A_{5}}{A_{1}} = \frac{50.\pi.r.h}{2.\pi.r.h} = 25

The new area is 25 times greater.

B. By analysing how many times greater and the factor that the dimensions are multiplied, you can notice the increase in area is factor². For example, when multiplied by a factor of 2, the new area is 4 times greater.
