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)

A backyard measures 30 feet by 40 feet. If the owner builds a fence around, about how many feet of fencing will be needed?

Answers

Answer:

140 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need to find the perimeter of the backyard to find how many feet of fencing will be needed

the formula for perimeter is: 2l+2w

So 2 times 30 is 60

with 2 times 40 80

60+80 is 140

Thus you will need 140 feet to cover the backyard

Hope this helps!

Answer:

140 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2(l+w)

Perimeter = 2(30+40)

Perimeter = 2(70)

Perimeter = 140

According to building codes, a wheelchair ramp should have a slope of 1/10 or less.

a) Does the wheelchair ramp shown meet the requirements? (The ramp had a height of 75 cm and a length of 800 cm.)
Include calculations to justify your answer.

Answers

Using the slope formula, it is found that the slope is of 0.09375 < 0.1, hence, it meets the requirements.

The slope of a ramp is given by it's height divided by it's length, that is:

[tex]m = \frac{h}{l}[/tex]

In this problem:

The height is of 75 cm, hence [tex]h = 75[/tex].The length is of 800 cm, hence [tex]l = 800[/tex].

Then, the slope is given by:

[tex]m = \frac{h}{l} = \frac{75}{800} = 0.09375[/tex]

The slope is of 0.09375 < 0.1, hence, it meets the requirements.

One coin is flipped and then one die is rolled. What is the probability of getting a head on the coin and an odd number on the die? {?} Give your answer as a percentage.

Answers

Sample Space for coin=H,T
n(S)=2
n(head)=1
P(of getting a head)=1/2

Sample Space for die=1,2,3,4,5,6
n(S)=6

P(of getting an odd number)=3/6=1/2

P(of getting a head on the coin and an odd number on the die)=1/2 + 1/2 =1
Probability expressed as a percentage=1*100%=100

The probability of getting a head on the coin and an odd number on the die is 25%

What is the probability?

The Probability in mathematics is the possibility of an event in time. In simple words, how many times that incident is happening in any given time interval.

Given:

One coin is flipped, and then one die is rolled.

Let H is the head and T is tails.

The sample space is {H, T}

The probability of getting a head on the coin

= The possible outcomes / the total outcomes

= 1/2

One die is rolled.

So, the sample space is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

The sample space for odd number is {1, 3, 5}.

The probability of getting an even number on the die

= 3/6

= 1/2

If two events A and B are independent, then the probability that they occur together is the product of their individual probabilities:

P(A and B) = P(A) P(B)

= 1/2 x 1/2

= 1/4

= 0.25

And 0.25 in percentage is 25%.

Therefore, the probability is 1/4.

Find the sum of all solutions to the equation $3x(x+4) = 135$.

Answers

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x(x + 4) = 135

3x² + 12x = 135

3x² + 12x - 135 = 0

On dividing by 3

x² + 4x - 45 = 0

x² + (9x - 5x) - 45 = 0

x² + 9x - 5x - 45 = 0

x(x + 9) - 5(x + 9) = 0

(x + 9)(x - 5) = 0

x = 5 & -9

Sum = -9 + 5

Sum = -4

The sum of the solutions of the given quadratic equation will be -4.

What is a quadratic equation?

An algebraic equation of the second degree in x is a quadratic equation. The quadratic equation is written as ax2 + bx + c = 0, where x is the variable, and a must not be zero.

As per the given equation,

⇒ 3x(x + 4) = 135

Multiply the 3x as,

3x² + 12x = 135

3x² + 12x - 135 = 0

Divide the above equation by 3 as

3x²/3 + 12x/3 - 135/3 = 0

x² + 4x - 45 = 0

x² + 9x - 5x - 45 = 0

x(x + 9) - 5(x + 9) = 0

(x - 5)(x + 9) = 0

x = 5 and x = -9

Therefore the sum will be -9 + 5 = -4

Hence "The total of the quadratic equation's answers will be -4".

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle c + angle d = 180° ( linear pair)

given,

angle c = 5x + 9

angle d = 5x - 6

now,

5x + 9 + 5x - 6 = 180

10x + 3 = 180

10x = 180 - 3 = 177

10x = 177

x = 177/10 = 17.7

so,

angle C = 5x + 9 = 5(17.7) + 9 = 97.50°

angle D = 5x - 6 = 5(17.7) - 6 = 82.50°
