The answer is Ben grew 5/8 longer between his 12 and 13 birthdays
Answer:
97.2 m
Step-by-step explanation:
= 
= 19.4 m/s
Distance = speed x time = 19.4 m/s x 5 s = 97.2 m
Since x - 3 < 0 for -2 < x < 3, |x-3| = -(x-3)
Since x + 2 > 0 for -2 < x < 3, |x+2| = x+2
Since x - 5 < 0 for -2 < x < 3, |x-5| = -(x-5).
So y = -(x-3) + (x+2) -(-(x-5)) = 3 - x + x + 2 + x - 5 = x.
y = x, if -2 < x < 3.
We can either convert to standard form first or convert to a common multiplier, kinda like a common denominator. The latter makes more sense if they wanted the result in scientific notation, but let's do it that way anyway.
a)
4.5 × 10⁴ + 3.8 × 10³ = 45 × 10³ + 3.8 × 10³ = 48.8× 10³ = 48,800
Answer: 48,800
b)
4.5 × 10⁴ - 3.8 × 10³ = 45 × 10³ - 3.8 × 10³ = 41.2× 10³ = 41,200
Answer: 41,200
c)
7.2 × 10⁻³ + 6.3 × 10⁻² = 7.2 × 10⁻³ + 63 × 10⁻³ = 70.2 × 10⁻³
= 7.02 × 10⁻² = 0.0702
Answer: 0.0702
