A negative exponent means the number of the exponent divide by the number. The the radius of beryllium atom is larger than the radius of a nitrogen atom by two times.

Given information-

The radius of a nitrogen atom is 5.6\times10^{-11} meters.

The radius of a beryllium atom is 1.12 \times10^{-10} meters

<h3>Negative exponents</h3>

A negative exponent means the number of the exponent divide by the number.

As the radius of the nitrogen atom is 5.6\times10^{-11} meters. Convert it in the power of negative exponent of 10.

Let the radius of the nitrogen is r mm. Thus,

r=5.6\times 10^{-11}\\&#10;r=5.6\times 10^{-10-1}\\&#10;r=5.6\times 10^{-10}\times10^{-1}\\&#10;r=\dfrac{5.6\times 10^{-10}}{10} \\&#10;r=0.56\times 10^{-10}

Now the base of the exponents of both the atoms are same. As the radius of the nitrogen atom is 0.56\times 10^{-10} meters and the radius of the beryllium atom is 1.12 \times10^{-10}. Thus the radius of beryllium atom is larger.

To calculate how many times, the radius of beryllium atom should be divided by the radius of a nitrogen atom. Thus,

=\dfrac{1.12\times10^{-10}}{0.56\times10^{-10}} \\&#10;=2

Thus the the radius of beryllium atom is larger than the radius of a nitrogen atom by two times.

30 POINTS!!! Kent won 25% of the games he played on Saturday. If he lost 12 games on Saturday, and no game ended in a tie, how m
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

He won 4 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of games he lost= 75%

Let the total number of games be x

75% of x = 12

\frac{75x}{100} = 12

75x= 12 x 100

x= \frac{1200}{75}

 =16

Number of games he won = 16-12

                                            = 4

Mr. Green is putting lights around 8 windows; each window is 3.5feet wide and 5 feet long. How many feet of light does he need?
zmey [24]
We must find the perimeter of all eight windows. To make it simpler for us, let's find the perimeter of one window and multiply it by 8.

2*3.5 + 2*5 = 7 + 10 = 17

17*8 = 136

Hope this helps!

In the system of equations, r and s are constants. If the system has infinitely many solutions, what is the value of rs?
exis [7]

Answer:  B) -48

Step-by-step explanation:

If the system of two linear equations a_1x+b_1y=c_1\ \&\ a_2+b_2y=c_2 has infinitely many solutions , then

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}=\dfrac{c_1}{c_2}=k

For the given system of linear equations : rx-sy=26\\4x+3y=13

We , will have

\dfrac{r}{4}=\dfrac{-s}{3}=\dfrac{26}{13}=2\\\\\Rightarrow\ r= 4\times2=8\ \ \&\ \ s=2\times-3=-6

The value of rs=(8)\times-6=-48

Hence, the value of rs is -48.

Thus , the correct option is B) -48.
