X=6.2
y=0.5x
y=0.5*6.2
y=3.1
z=14.5-x-y
z=14.5-6.2-3.1
z=5.2
each variable is a side

762,508 expanded form using exponents

r-ruslan [8.4K]

762,508 in expanded form using exponents is given as:

$7 \times 10^5 + 6 \times 10^4 + 2 \times 10^3 + 5 \times 10^2 +0 \times 10^1 + 8 \times 10^0$

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that we have to write 762, 508 in expanded form using exponents

Expanded form or expanded notation is a way of writing numbers to see the math value of individual digits

<h3><u>Write 762508 in Expanded form</u></h3>

Let us first find the place value of digits

Place value can be defined as the value represented by a digit in a number on the basis of its position in the number.

Place value of 7 = 700000

In 762508, 7 is in hundred-thousands place

Place value of 6 = 60000

In 762508, 6 is in ten-thousands place.

Place value of 2 = 2000

In 762508, 2 is in thousands place

Place value of 5 = 500

In 762508, 5 is in hundreds place

Place value of 0 = 0 x 10 = 0

In 762508, 0 is in tens place

Place value of 8 = 8

In 762508, 8 is in ones place

Therefore, the expanded form is given as:

700,000 + 60,000 + 2,000 + 500 + 0 + 8

<u><em>Using exponents we can write as,</em></u>

$7 \times 10^5 + 6 \times 10^4 + 2 \times 10^3 + 5 \times 10^2 +0 \times 10^1 + 8 \times 10^0$

Old faithful in Yellowstone National Park shoots water 60 feet into the air that casts a shadow of 42 feet. What is the height o

Serhud [2]

Answer:

The height of near by tree will be 90 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the water triangle as shown in figure a.

As the old faithful shoots water 60 feet into the air that casts a shadow of 42 feet.

Considering the tree triangle as shown in figure a. The tree triangle has a shadow 63 feet long.

Let x be the height of near by tree that cost a shadow 63 feet long.

Assuming that the triangles are similar

So,

the ratios of similar triangles will be related as:

$\frac{63}{42}=\frac{x}{60}$

$\mathrm{Switch\:sides}$

$\frac{x}{60}=\frac{63}{42}$

${x}=60.\frac{63}{42}$

$x=90$ feet

Therefore, the height of near by tree will be 90 feet.

On a piece of paper, graph y< x-3. Then determine which answer matches<br> the graph you drew

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The graph is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The inequality of a line to graph is given as:

$y$

In order to graph it, we first make the 'inequality' sign to 'equal to' sign. This gives,

$y=x-3$

Now, we plot this line on a graph. The given line is of the form:

$y=mx+b$ Where, 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.

So, for the line $y=x-3$ , $m=1,b=-3$

The y-intercept is at (0, -3).

In order to draw the line correctly we find another point. Let the 'y' value be 0.

Now, $0=x-3\\x=3$

So, the point is (3, 0).

Now, we mark these points and draw a line passing through these two points.

Now, consider the line inequality $y$ . The 'y' value is less than $x-3$ . So, the solution region will be region below the line and excluding all the points on the line. So, we draw a broken line and shade the region below it.

The graph is shown below.
