Answer: Scientific Notation is the expression of a number n in the form a∗10b. where a is an integer such that 1≤|a|<10. and b is an integer too. Multiplication: To multiply numbers in scientific notation, multiply the decimal numbers. Then add the exponents of the powers of 10.

Let's say we had the massive number

6,230,000,000

which we can shorten it to saying "6.23 billion" and that allows us to drop all the extra zeros at the end.

When writing it in scientific notation, we would say 6.23 \times 10^9 and the \times 10^9 portion indicates "times ten to the ninth power". This is the place holder for "billion". It means we'll move the decimal point 9 spots to the right to go from 6.23 back to the original massive number shown above.

In short, scientific notation allows us to represent really large numbers in a compact way. It's useful to be able to communicate to a friend about whatever number you're referring to. One application is trying to find vast distances in outer space which tend to be very larger numbers. There are many other applications for scientific notation.

The Mendes family bought a new house 5 years ago for $100,000. The house is now worth $198,000. Assuming a steady rate of growth
Andrei [34K]
(new amount-old amount)=(198,000)-(100,000)=98% increase

98/5 years=19,600
Yr 1=$100,000+19,600=$119,600
Yr 2=$119,600+19,600=$139,200
Yr 3=$139,200+19,600=$158,800
Yr 4=$158,800+19,600=$178,400
Yr 5=$178,400+19,600=$198,000

The mortgage grew at a steady rate of $19,600 over the 5 years...

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by the given equation. Using this equation, find the time that the rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second.

y=-16x^2+129x+119

y=−16x

2. Perpendicular to y=1/2x -6 that passes through (6,-4) <br> PLEASE HELP ME ASAP
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

To get the slope (which we'll call n) of a line perpendicular to another line with slope (a/b), use

n = \frac{-b}{a}

Then we just plug in the point we want to cross and solve for the constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

we see that m = \frac{1}{2}

so, n = -\frac{2}{1} = -2

now we have the equation

-2x + b = y

plugging in (6, -4) we get

-2(6) + b = -4\\-12+b = 4\\b=4+12=16

This gives us our function

y = -2x + 16
