Explain how negative powers of 10 can be helpful when writing and comparing small numbers

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Powers of 10 is a very useful way of writing down large or small numbers.

Instead of having lots of zeros, you show how many powers of 10 will make that many zeros.

When you work with small numbers, you should use the negative powers of 10. Just remember for negative powers of 10, move the decimal point to the left. For example,

$0.36=3.6\cdot 10^{-1}\ [\text{Move the decimal point one place to the left}]\\ \\0.036=3.6\times 10^{-2}\ [\text{Move the decimal point two places to the left}]\\ \\0.0036=3.6\times 10^{-3}\ [\text{Move the decimal point three places to the left}]\\ \\...$

When comparing small numbers, write these numbers in scientific notation (only one non-xero digit must be before point) and then

if the powers of 10 are the same in compared numbers are the same, just compare the numbers which are multiplied by these powers of 10. For example, $3.6\times 10^{-6}>2.6\times 10{-6},$ because powers are the same (-6) and $3.6>2.6$
if the powers are different, then the smaller is power, the smaller is number (number with the smaller negative power has more places after decimal point). For example, $3.6\times 10^{-6}> 2.6\times 10^{-7},$ because $-6>-7$

3. Use trigonometric ratios to solve for the variable. Show your work. Round lengths to the nearest tenth and angles to the near

Lynna [10]

Answer:

x = 3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that for a right angle with an internal angle θ,

cos θ = adjacent length / hypotenuse

in our case,

θ = 55 deg

adjacent length = x units

hypotenuse = 6 units

substitute these into the formula above

cos θ = adjacent length / hypotenuse

cos 55 = x / 6 (multiply both sides by 6)

x = 6 cos 55 (use calculator)

x = 3.4415

x = 3.4 (rounded to nearest tenth)

kramer

Answer:

(a)

$\bar x = 0.0075$

$s = 0.0049$

(b)

B. The sample is too small to make judgments about skewness or symmetry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$n = 8$

$\begin{array}{ccccccccc}{} & {S} & {u} & {b} &{j} & {e} & {c} & {t} & {s} &{Operator} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & {6} & {7} & {8} & {1} & 1.326 & 1.337 & 1.079 & 1.229 & 0.936 & 1.009 & 1.179 & 1.289 & 2 & 1.323 & 1.322 & 1.073 & 1.233 & 0.934 & 1.019 & 1.184 & 1.304 \ \end{array}$

Solving (a):

First, calculate the difference between the recorded TBBMC for both operators:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccc}{} & {S} & {u} & {b} &{j} & {e} & {c} & {t} & {s} &{Operator} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & {6} & {7} & {8} & {1} & 1.326 & 1.337 & 1.079 & 1.229 & 0.936 & 1.009 & 1.179 & 1.289 & 2 & 1.323 & 1.322 & 1.073 & 1.233 & 0.934 & 1.019 & 1.184 & 1.304 &{|1 - 2|} &0.003 & 0.015 & 0.006 & 0.004 & 0.002 & 0.010 & 0.005 & 0.015 \ \end{array}$

The last row which represents the difference between 1 and 2 is calculated using absolute values. So, no negative entry is recorded.

The mean is then calculated as:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

$\bar x = \frac{0.003 + 0.015 + 0.006 + 0.004 + 0.002 + 0.010 + 0.005 + 0.015}{8}$

$\bar x = \frac{0.06}{8}$

$\bar x = 0.0075$

Next, calculate the standard deviation (s).

This is calculated using:

$s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x - \bar x)^2}{n}}$

So, we have

$s = \sqrt\frac{(0.003 - 0.0075)^2 + (0.015 - 0.0075)^2+ (0.006- 0.0075)^2+ ....... + (0.005- 0.0075)^2+ (0.015- 0.0075)^2 }{8}$ $s = \sqrt\frac{0.00019}{8}$

$s = \sqrt{0.00002375$

$s = 0.0049$

Solving (b):

Of the given options (A - E), option B is correct because the sample is actually too small

If one factor of x2 + 2x - 24 is (x+6), what is the other factor?

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

( x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 2x - 24

From here, you must find the two factors of -24 (the first and third terms' coefficients multiplied together) that add up to 2 (the middle terms coefficient)

( x - 4) ( x + 6)
