Your answer is 10^(- 4).
Think about how exponents with a base 10 work. 10^1 = 10, 10^2 = 100, 10^3 = 1000. It's just add a zero to the right side as you go up.
Then think about 10^0. Anything to a zero power is 1. Only way to go is into negative exponents now. If for positive exponents on 10 we add a zero to the right side, then for negative exponents we add them to the left. Only difference is we have a decimal.
10^(- 1) = 0.1
10^(- 2) = 0.01
10^(- 3) = 0.001
And then your answer
10^(- 4) = 0.0001
Hopefully that explanation makes sense. Exponents can be rough to explain when you're not face-to-face or using some sort of live animation to talk through it. If you're still confused, I'd suggest talking to your instructor.
Answer:
x = 8/3 or 2 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 5/3 = 1
x - 5/3 + 5/3 = x
1 + 5/3 = 8/3 or 2 2/3
x = 8/3 or 2 2/3
The total meal costs = $6.75+$4.25+$5.50 =$16.5
The tip amounted to 16.5 x 18%=16.5 x 0.18 = $2.97
Total amount spent $16.5+$2.97 = $19.47
Since they want to share equally let's find the average= 19.47/3
Each one will pay $6.49
<h3>
Answer: g = -2</h3>
======================================================
Explanation:
We will use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Plugging in the given items leads to
-5 = (g-8)/(6-4)
Now solve for g
-5 = (g-8)/(6-4)
-5 = (g-8)/2
-5*2 = g-8
-10 = g-8
-10+8 = g
-2 = g
g = -2
We have (6,g) turn into (6,-2)
The two points (4,8) and (6,-2) are on a line of slope -5.
-------------------
As a way to check, we'll find the slope of the line through (4,8) and (6,-2)
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-2-8)/(6-4)
m = -10/2
m = -5
The answer is confirmed.
