the answer would be a or b. Turn on verified mode for professionals to answer)
-4b-8 + -1b^2 +2b^3
-4(-2)-8+-1(-2)^2+2(-2)^3
8-8+2^2-4^3
4-64
60
The answer is 35/64 or 0.546875 in decimal form
first we write all numerators above the least common denominator 64
1+40-6
————
64
next we solve the numerators by doing 1+40-6 to get 35/64
The height of Mount Kilimanjaro is 19,340 feet.
To convert to scientific notation move the decimal point so there is only 1 digit to the left of the decimal pint, you then multiply that by 10 raised to the number of spaces you moved the decimal point.
19,340 - Move the decimal point 4 places to the left to get 1.9340
You can remove the 0 at the end to get 1.934
You moved the decimal 4 places so raise 10 to 4 and get the final answer:
1.934 x 10^4
The first choice is the correct one.
