What are the steps to convert a number from standard notation to scientific notation?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal in scientific notation is to express a value in terms of a number that contains a single unit before the decimal point.  

Examples:

10000:  1.0 x 10^4

23456:  2.3456x10^4

In both cases, the x10^4 is telling us to multiply the first number by 10,000.  10^4 is the same as 10x10x10x10 = 10,000

The justification for scientific notation is that is makes expression large and small numbers much easier, as well as reduces errors due to an incorrectly placed decimal.

An example:  Divide 2500000000 by 5000.  That would normally require setting up a long-hand division problem that not only wastes paper and pencil, but is also prone to decimal point errors.

Do the same problem with scientific notation:

Count the places you want to move the decimal point backwards to just beyond the 5 in 2500000000.  It takes nine steps to move the decimal point to between the 2 and 5:  2.5 followed by 8 zeros.  That's a total of next steps to go in front of the 5.  This is written 2.5 x 10^9

5000 is represented by 5.0x10^4

Now when we divide the same numbers, but in scientific format, it is easier to see the answer:

(2.5x10^9)/(5.0x10^4)

2.5/5 = 0.5

10^9/10^4 = 10^5  [The exponents are subtracted when dividing with exponents:  9-4 = 5]

Put them together to find the final answer:  0.5x10^5

Then move the decimal point one spot to the right and reduce the exponent by 1:

5.0x10^4

------

Add exponents when multiplying:  10^3 x 10^5 = 10^8  (3+5=8)

Subtract when dividing:  10^7/10^2 = 10^5  (7-2=5)

Multiply when there is an exponent raised to another exponent:  (10^4)^3 = 10^12 (4x3 = 12)

Answer:

120 planters can be filled with topsoil.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each planter can hold 1/8th of a bag of topsoil, this means that one bag of topsoil can fill up 8 planters.

15 x 8 = 120, so this means that 120 planters can be filled with topsoil.

A set of 3 consecutive integers has a sum of 15. Which integers are they?

Answers

The answer is 4+5+6=15.Hope that helps. :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x,

The second number (since it is consecutive) will be = x + 1

The third number (since it is right after the second) = (x+1) + 1 = x + 2

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 15

3x + 3 = 15

3x = 15 - 3

3x = 12

x = 12/3 = 4

If the first number = 4,

Second number will be = 5 [(x+1) = 4+1]

Third number will be = 6 [(x+2) = 4 + 2]

In two or more complete sentences, explain how to use ordered pairs of points in f(x) = 2x + 5 and g (x) = x-5/2 to determine if f(x) and g(x) are inverse of each other.

Answers

Answer:

In two or more complete sentences, explain how to use ordered pairs of points in f(x) = 2x + 5 and to determine if f(x) and g(x) are inverses of each other?

It is very difficult to know because you did not include the function g(x), you only gave us f(x).

Given two lists of ordered pairs [x,f(x)] and [x,g(x)]. If for every ordered pair on the f(x) list the reverse is on the g(x) list the functions are inverses.

f(0) = 5 so for (0,5) on the f(x) list then (5,0) must be on the g(x) list

f(1) = 7 so for (1,7) on the f(x) list then (7,1) must be on the g(x) list

f(2) = 9 so for (2,9) on the f(x) list then (9,2) must be on the g(x) list

So even though you didn’t list g(x), g(x) = (x/2) - 5/2

Answer:

h⁰ = 84⁰

f⁰ = 132⁰

g⁰ = 28⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180⁰, so,

h⁰ + 48⁰ + 48⁰ = 180⁰

h⁰ = 84⁰

Now, we can find f⁰ by Linear Pair theorem, which states that the angles sum will equal to 180⁰.

48⁰ + f⁰ = 180⁰

f⁰ = 132⁰

Again, g⁰ can be founded the same way as h⁰.

20⁰ + 132⁰ + g⁰ = 180⁰

g⁰ = 28⁰

Pablo has $5,483 in a savings account. The interest rate is 5%, compounded annually.

Answer:

$6347.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial amount P = 5483Interest rate r = 5% or 0.05Compound number n = 1Time t = 3 years

Find the total amount in 3 years:

[tex]A = P(1+r/n)^{nt}[/tex][tex]A = 5483*(1+0.05/1)^{1*3}=5483*(1.05)^3 = 6347.26[/tex]

[tex]\tt\red{\overbrace{\underbrace{\tt\color{orange}{ANSWER}}}}[/tex]

Here we've been given,

Principal amount (p) = $5843

Compound number (n) = 1

Rate of Interest (r) = 5% = 5 × 1/100 = 0.05

Time (t) = 3 years

A = ?

The standard formula for Compound interest (C.P) is given by,

[tex]:\implies\tt{A = p( { \frac{1 + r}{n} )}^{n \times t} } \\ \\ \\ :\implies\tt{A = 5483( { \frac{1 + 0.05}{1}) }^{1 \times 3} } \\ \\ \\ :\implies\tt{A = 5483 \times {1.05}^{3} } \\ \\ \\ :\implies\tt{A = 6347.26}[/tex]

The base of a triangular field is three times its height. If the cost of cultivating the feild at $36 per hectare is $486, find its base and height.

Please explain also​

Answers

Answer:

Formula of the area of triangle = 1/2 × b × h (where 'b' is the base and 'h' is the height)

1 hectare = $36

$486 = 13.5 hectares

13.5 hectares = 1/2 × b × h

To get b × h, you use the reverse of the formula. Hence:

13.5 = 1/2 × b × h

13.5 ÷ 1/2 = b × h

               = 27

27 is b × h.

The question states that the base is three times the height. Hence:

b = 3u

h = 1u

b × h = 27

        = 3u × 1u

Thus, we need to find one value which is three times the other, in order to get a product of 27.

Factors of 27:

1 × 27

3 × 9

9 is three times of 3. Thus, the base is 9, while the height is 3.
