<h2>Answer:   2.59 × 10¹⁰ kilometers/day</h2>

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Since there are 86400 seconds / day

& light travels at 3 x 10⁵ kilometers / second

Then kilometers the light travels in a day

  = (86400 seconds / day) × (light travels at 3 x 10⁵ kilometers / second)

  = 2.59 × 10¹⁰ kilometers/day

<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Note:</u>

<em>We know that we have to multiply because the unit 'seconds per day' has the seconds in the numerator, while the unit 'kilometer per second' has the seconds in the denominator, so to cancel we would have to multiply. This gives us the unit we are looking for 'kilometeres per day'.</em>

1. what two things need to be true in order to add/subtract two radicals ?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: 1. To add or subtract radicals, the indices and what is inside the radical (called the radicand) must be exactly the same. If the indices and radicands are the same, then add or subtract the terms in front of each like radical. If the indices or radicands are not the same, then you can not add or subtract the radicals.2.The index tells you how many of a kind you need to put together to be able to move that number or variable from inside the radical to outside the radical. For example, if the index is 2 (a square root), then you need two of a kind to move from inside the radical to outside the radical.3.When factoring a trinomial in the form x2 + bx + c, consider the following tips. Look at the c term first. o If the c term is a positive number, then the factors of c will both be positive or both be negative. In other words, r and s will have the same sign.
