Answer:

a = - 2 , b = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the points p and q lie on the graph then they satisfy the equation

(6, 4 ) , substitute x = 6 , y = 4 into the equation

6a + 4b = 20 → (1)

(2, 3 ) , substitute x = 2, y = 3 into the equation

2a + 3b = 20 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate a

- 6a - 9b = - 60 → (3)

add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate a

0 - 5b = - 40

- 5b = - 40 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

b = 8

Substitute b = 8 into either of the 2 equations and solve for a

Substituting into (1)

6a + 4(8) = 20

6a + 32 = 20 ( subtract 32 from both sides )

6a = - 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

a = - 2

With 10 to the power to a negative number, it's easier. 
Here's a trick: The negative number is the places to the right of the decimal. The last number is a 1, while the rest are 0s.

From this, we get: 10^{-4}=\boxed{0.0001}

The speed of light is approximately 299,000,000 meters per second.
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

2.99 x 10⁸ meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation (also called "Standard form") is written in the form of a \times 10^n, where  1\leq a < 10  and  n is any positive or negative whole number.

To <u>convert</u> a number into <u>scientific notation</u>, move the decimal point to the left or right until there is <u>one digit before the decimal point.</u>

The number of times you have moved the decimal point is the power of 10 (n).

If the decimal point has moved to the <u>left</u>, the power is <u>positive</u>.

If the decimal point has moved to the <u>right</u>, the power is <u>negative</u>.

<u>To convert the given number to scientific notation</u>

The decimal point for the given number 299000000 is after the last zero:

⇒  299000000.

Move the decimal point 8 places to the left:  

⇒ 2.99000000

Get rid of the redundant zeros:

⇒ 2.99

Multiply by 10 to the power of the number of decimal places moved:  

⇒ 2.99 x 10⁸

Therefore, the speed of light using scientific notation is:

  • 2.99 x 10⁸ meters per second
