The quotient of 9.2 x 10 6 and 2.3 x 10 2 expressed in scientific notation is

1 answer:

4 0

What we know:
quotient 9.2 x 10^6/ 2.3 x 10²
in quotients exponents are subtracted of they have the same base, for example 10^6 and 10² have the same base of 10

What we need to find: quotient 9.2 x 10^6/ 2.3 x 10²
9.2 x 10^6
-------------- = 4 x 10^4
2.3 x 10²

Here in this problem I divided 9.2 by 2.3 and got 4, since the solution was simple and clean meaning no repeated decimals I went ahead and divided the 10^6 by 10^2 and got 10^4.

Another method would be to expand both numbers then divide and do scientific notation again.
Remember to change to normal notation you move the decimal to the right using the number of the exponent.

9.2 x 10^6= 9200000
2.3 x 10²= 230

920000/230=40000

40000= 4 x 10^4 scientific notation

Use the method that is best for you or just know you can use either method to check your work.

Three identical circular coins are lined up in a row as shown (the 10s represent their value, not a length). The distance betwee

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Diameter of a circle = 1.6 Cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance between first and third coins = 3.2 cm

Find:

Diameter of the coins = ?

Computation:

Number of circle = 3

In the given figure,distance between the first and third coins is 3.2 cm.

So,

Distance = 1st circle radius + 2nd circle diameter + 3rd circle radius

Distance = 1st circle radius + 2 (radius) + 3rd circle radius

Distance = R + 2R + R

3.2 Cm = 4 R

Radius = 0.8 Cm

Diameter of a circle = 2 × radius

Diameter of a circle = 2 × 0.8

Diameter of a circle = 1.6 Cm

Why would someone choose to use a graphing calculator to solve a system of linear equations instead of graphing by hand? Explain

Paul [167]

<span>Graphing calculators are more accurate and are faster when finding the solution(s). <span>When solving a system of equations with a graphing calculator, you can have the calculator graph equations of any degree and shape. The graphing calculator also has functions to find where the graphs intersect between two points and are accurate sometimes to ten decimal places. When compared to graphing by hand you can get inaccurate results and results that are not as precise.</span></span>

Suppose X is the breaking strength (newtons) of a material, and X is normally distributed with

Veronika [31]

Answer:

a) 0.997 is the probability that the breaking strength is at least 772 newtons.

b) 0.974 is the probability that this material has a breaking strength of at least 772 but not more than 820

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 800 newtons

Standard Deviation, σ = 10 newtons

We are given that the distribution of breaking strength is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

a) P( breaking strength of at least 772 newtons)

$P(x \geq 772)$

$P( x \geq 772) = P( z \geq \displaystyle\frac{772 - 800}{10}) = P(z \geq -2.8)$

$= 1 - P(z$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x \geq 772) = 1 - 0.003 = 0.997 = 99.7\%$

0.997 is the probability that the breaking strength is at least 772 newtons.

b) P( breaking strength of at least 772 but not more than 820)

$P(772 \leq x \leq 820) = P(\displaystyle\frac{772 - 800}{10} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{820-800}{10}) = P(-2.8 \leq z \leq 2)\\\\= P(z \leq 2) - P(z < -2.8)\\= 0.977 - 0.003 = 0.974 = 97.4\%$

$P(772 \leq x \leq 820) = 97.4\\%$

0.974 is the probability that this material has a breaking strength of at least 772 but not more than 820.
