Mathematics

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx²

NOTE: k is constant for proportionality

putting values for x and y

if x is 2

and y is 12

12 = k(2)²

12 = k4

12 = 4k

divide both sides by coefficient of k

12÷4 = 4k ÷ 4

k=3

substitute 3 for k

therefore when

y is 48

and k is constant 3

then x will be:

48=3x²

divide both sides by coefficient of x²

48 divide by 3 = 3x² divide by 3

16=x²

take the square root of both sides

√16 = √x²

x = 4

What is 150,000,000 in scientific notion, PLEASE answer asap im so far behind!!
dybincka [34]

To write a number in scientific notation, you need to write the number as a product of a number from 1 to under 10 multiplied by a integer power of 10.

First, what number from 1 to under 10 can you get out of the digits of 150,000,000 just by changing the decimal point? The answer is 1.5 since 1.5 is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10.

150,000,000 = 1.5 * 100,000,000

Now we change 100,000,000 into a power of 10. A 1 followed by a number of zeros is the same as 10 to the power equal to the number of zeros. In 100,000,000 the 1 is followed by 8 zeros, so 100,000,000 = 10^8.

150,000,000 = 1.5 * 10^8

Nat2105 [25]

Distance Formula: \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^2 + (y_{2} - y_{1})^2}

Point 1: (9,0)

Point 2: (5,-8)

D = sqrt[ (5 - 9)^2 + (-8 - 0)^2 ]

D = sqrt[ (-4)^2 + (-8)^2 ]

D = sqrt[ 16 + 64]

D = sqrt(80)

Hope this helps!

Perform the indicated operation.<br><br> (-6)(4)<br><br> 10<br> -10<br> 24<br> -24
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

-24

Step-by-step explanation:

All you really have to do is multiply -6 by 4, and that results in -24. Remember, if there is only one negative sign, it will be negative, but if zero or two negative signs are present, the answer will be positive.

Does anyone understand 1 or 2? Please answer
telo118 [61]

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.
