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 upper-left coordinates on a rectangle are (-5, 6)(−5,6)left parenthesis, minus, 5, comma, 6, right parenthesis, and the uppe
sammy [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

The upper-left coordinates on a rectangle are (−5,6) and the upper-right coordinates are (−2,6). The rectangle has a perimeter of 16units. Draw the rectangle on the coordinate plane below.

If the coordinates of the top of the triangle (breadth) is  (−5,6) and  (−2,6), we can calculate the breadth of the rectangle by taking the difference between the two points using the formula:

D = √(y₂-y₁)²+(x₂-x₁)²

Given x₁ = -5, y₁= 6, x₂ = -2 and y₂ = 6

D = √(6-6)²+(-2-(-5))²

D = √0²+3²

D = √9

D = 3 units

Breadth = 3 units

Given the Perimeter to be 16 units and the formula for calculating the perimeter of rectangle t be P = 2(L+B), we can get the length of the rectangle.

16 = 2(3+L)

16 = 6+2L

16-6 = 2L

2L = 10

L = 10/2

L = 5 units.

<em>Hence the length of the rectangle is 5 units and the breadth is 3 units. Find the diagram in the attachment.</em>

The sine ratio of an angle is the opposite side over the adjacent side.
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

never

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle, every angle has an opposite side and an adjacent side. And there's always a hypotenuse.

The sine of an angle is the ratio of the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse.

The tangent ratio of an angle is the opposite side over adjacent side, it is not the sine ratio of a triangle.

For example, ABC is a right angled triangle having length of the sides are a,b,c.

So

sine\ C=\frac{a}{c}

- 3 + 3x = 2x – 13 <br><br> I have to use more characters...
DENIUS [597]

- 3 + 3x = 2x – 13

Bring -3 to the right side of the equation by adding 3 to both sides

(- 3 + 3) + 3x = 2x – 13 + 3

0 + 3x = 2x - 10

3x = 2x - 10

Bring 2x to the other side by subtracting 2x to both sides

3x - 2x = 2x - 2x - 10

x = -10

Check:

-3 + 3(-10) = 2(-10) - 13

-3 + (-30) = -20 - 13

-33 = -33

Hope this helped!
