When you multiply a whole number by 10 to the 5th power , will there always be the same number of
zeros before the decimal point as in your answer to Part A? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a whole number can be ANY counting number

10 to the 5th power =  × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10

when you multiply by any positive power of ten, you are making it really big

23 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 2,300,000

30 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 3,000,000

100 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 10,000,000

the pattern is the whole number followed by 5 zeros that show 5 place values

Answers

Hi :)

First, how many days are in a week?

7 days are in a weekSo 7x 2/3

First, Convert any mixed numbers to fractions.

Then your initial equation becomes:

2/3×7/1

Applying the fractions formula for multiplication,

=2×7 x 3×1

=14/3

Simplifying 14/3, the answer is

4 and 2/3

Solve the following quadratic by
completing the square.
f(x) = x2 + 10x - 1

Answers

Answer:

x = -5 plus/minus sqrt( 26 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's remember the binomial square formula

A^2 + 2AB + B^2 = (A + B)^2

We have:

x^2 + 2*5x -1

Hence, if we replace

A = x

B = 5

we get a perfect square: x^2 + 2*5x + 25 = (x + 5)^2.      [++]

Based on this reasoning, let's set f(x) = 0

x^2 +10x -1 = 0

Let's add 26 on both terms:

x^2 +10x +25 = 26

Based on [++]:   (x + 5)^2 = 26

Square root on both sides

(x + 5) = plus/minus sqrt (26)

x = -5 plus/minus sqrt (26)

Find an equation of the line that goes through the points (8,-45) and (2,-9). Write your answer in the form y = mx + b.

Answers

Linear Equations

Linear equations are commonly organized in slope-intercept form:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

m = slopeb = the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0)

To find the equation of a line given two points:

Determine the slope of the line using the slope formulaPlug the slope into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]Determine the y-intercept by solving for bPlug the y-intercept back into the equation

Solving the Question

We're given:

The line passes through the points (8,-45) and (2,-9)

First, determine the slope using the following formula:

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where the given points are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

⇒ Plug in the given points (8,-45) and (2,-9):

[tex]m=\dfrac{-45-(-9)}{8-2}\\\\m=\dfrac{-45+9}{8-2}\\\\m=\dfrac{-36}{6}\\\\m=-6[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line is -6. Plug this into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] as m:

[tex]y=-6x+b[/tex]

Now, determine the y-intercept:

[tex]y=-6x+b[/tex]

⇒ Plug in one of the given points as (x,y) and solve for b:

[tex]-9=-6(2)+b\\-9=-12+b\\3=b[/tex]

Therefore the y-intercept of the line is 3. Plug this back into [tex]y=-6x+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=-6x+3[/tex]

Answer

[tex]y=-6x+3[/tex]

find the sum of the fractions below. 5/8 + 1/n = 7/8 A. 3 B. 3 5/12 C. 3 4/9 D. 4

Answers

Answer:

D. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Subtract 5/8 from both sides.

1/n = 7/8 - 5/8

2) Simplify 7/8 - 5/8 to 1/4.

1/n = 1/4

3) Multiply both sides by n.

1 = 1/4n
4) Simplify 1/4n to n/4.

1 = n/4

5) Multiply both sides by 4.

1 * 4 = n

6) Simplify 1 * 4 to 4.

4 = n

7) Switch sides.

n = 4

Check Answer:

5/8 + 1/n = 7/8

1) Let n = 4.

5/8 + 1/4 = 7/8

2) Simplify 5/8 + 1/4 to 7/8.

7/8 = 7/8

(a) Leo is asked to purchase roping that will be used to close off the area around the statue. He purchases a length that is five times the perimeter of the stand in roping. How much roping does he purchase? (b) Leo plans to add gold leaf to the sides of the stand but not to the two bases. What percent of the area of the stand will have gold leaf?

Answers

Answer:

Your Estimated Equations and Answers: 6+9= 15 ; 16+12 = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimating can be equivalent to rounding. This is because you're trying to find an approximate number or sum.

6.48 + 9.34 is your first question.

You should round it to the nearest whole number.

6.48 ~ 6 and 9.34 ~ 9

*Rounding rules applied here*

6+9= 15

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

[tex]\boxed{a_n =a + (n-1)*d)}[/tex]

a₅ = 10    a + 4d = 10

a₆ = 8     a + 5d = 8

Multiply the equation (I) by (-1) and then add. 'a' will be eliminated and we can find the value of 'd'

(I)*(-1)     -a - 4d = -10

(II)          a + 5d = 8     {Now add}

                     d = -2

Substitute d = -2 in equation (I)

 a + 4*(-2) = 10

 a -  8       = 10

           a   = 10 + 8

a =  18

a = 18 , d = -2

Emily recently started a part time job. She is saving for a car, which she will need when she attends college next year. She plans to deposit $400 at the end of each month into an account that 3.6% per year, compounded monthly . How much will Emily have saved at the end of six months? pays​

Answers

Answer:

  $2418.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems involving the time-value of money are conveniently solved using a TVM app on a suitable calculator or spreadsheet. The result of doing that is shown in the attachment.

__

If you would like to compute the value of Emily's account by hand, the annuity formula is the one you want.

  A = Pn((1 +r/n)^(nt) -1)/r . . . . where r is the annual interest rate, n is the number of times per year it is compounded (12), t is the number of years (1/2), and P is the periodic payment into the acccount (400).

Using the given values in the formula, we have ...

  A = 400(12)((1 +0.036/12)^(12/2) -1)/0.036 = 4800×(1.003^6 -1)/0.036

  A ≈ 2418.07

At the end of 6 months, Emily will have saved $2418.07.
