You are solving a measurement problem where the numbers 5.2187 x 10^−3, 2.05 x 10^7, and 3.40 x 10^3 are multiplied. How many significant digits should the product have?


A. 5

B. 3

C. 2

D. 1

Answers

Answer 1

Using scientific notation, the number of significant digits of the product is given as follows:

B. 3.

What is scientific notation?

A number in scientific notation is given by:

[tex]a \times 10^b[/tex]

With the base being [tex]a \in [1, 10)[/tex].

When two numbers in scientific notation are multiplied, we have that:

The bases are multiplied.The power of 10 is kept.The exponents are added.

For this problem, the product is given by:

[tex]5.2187 \times 10^{-3} \times 2.05 \times 10^7 \times 3.4 \times 10^3[/tex]

Multiplying the bases and adding the exponents, we have that:

[tex]5.2187 \times 10^{-3} \times 2.05 \times 10^7 \times 3.4 \times 10^3 = 5.2187 \times 2.05 \times 3.4 \times 10^{-3 + 7 + 3} = 42.8 \times 10^7[/tex]

42.8 has to be divided by 10 to assume for the base have only one digit, thus, to compensate, we have to add one to the exponent(equivalent to multiply by 10), hence:

[tex]42.8 \times 10^7 = 4.28 \times 10^8[/tex]

Hence, considering the rounding, the number has 3 significant digits(4, 2 and 8), and option B is correct.

The grid above shows the graph of the parent function f(x) = | x | and a translated functions graph.


Write the equation for the translated graph.
Please Hurry, I will give brainliest!

Answers

By using the principles of translation, the following equation can be derived for the graph of the translated text:

g(x) = |x + 2| + 1.

What is a translation?

According to operations like multiplication or sum/subtraction either in its range (including values of y) or in its domain, a translation is represented by a change in the function graph (involving values of x).

Examples include shifts to the left, right, or bottom; compression or stretching along the vertical or horizontal axis; reflections across the x or y axes; and rotations of a degree measured around the origin.

From the graph, we have that the parent function was:

Shifted left 2 units, hence x -> x + 2.

Shifted up 1 unit, hence y -> y + 1.

Hence, considering the parent function f(x) = |x|, the equation for the translated graph is given by:

g(x) = |x + 2| + 1.

x - intercept = 1 , y -  intercept = 3

What is rational functions ?

Any function that can be expressed as a polynomial divided by a polynomial is said to be rational. The domain of a rational function is the set of all numbers except the zeros of the denominator since polynomials are defined everywhere. First example: f(x) = x/ (x - 3).

CALCULATION

y=3x-3 / x²-1

= 3(x-1)/(x+1)(x-1)

The domain of given points are :

IR x ≠ ±1

Points of discontinuity - x = -1 ( non removable / asymptote)

                                       x = 1( removable / hole)

The price of Stock A at 9 A.M. was ​$15.03. Since​ then, the price has been increasing at the rate of ​$0.05 each hour. At noon the price of Stock B was ​$15.53. It begins to decrease at the rate of ​$
0.14 each hour. If the two rates​ continue, in how many hours will the prices of the two stocks be the​ same?

Answers

After 1.842 hours the price of Stock A and Stock B will be the same using a set of linear equations.

A grouping of one or more linear equations containing the same variables is known as a system of linear equations.

For Stock A :

The initial price = $15.03

The rate of increase = $0.05

For Stock B :

The rate of decrease = $15.53

The rate of decrease per hour = $0.13

Then the price of stock A at noon will be:

$ 15.03 + $ (0.05 × 3) = $ 15.03 + $ 0.15 = $15.18

The period of time during which the stock price will remain constant:

15.18 + 0.05t = 15.53 - 0.14t

Simplifying the terms we get,

0.05t + 0.14t = 15.53 - 15.18

0.19t = 0.35

t = (0.35 ÷ 0.19) hours

t = 1.842 hours

Therefore, the stocks will be of equal price after 1.842 hours.

well, we know the rate is compounding at 800% per minute.

the elapsed time will be 12 seconds, and since a minute has 60 seconds, that'd be 12/60 minutes.

the compounding period is 3 seconds, and since a minute has 60 seconds, that means is compounds 60/3 times, or namely 20 times.

Use PEMDAS to determine order of operations in a mathematical expression

The order of operations is

P = parentheses
E = exponent

M = multiplication

D == division

A = addition

S = subtraction

Note that multiplication and division have the same priority and we go from left to right that case. Because it does not affect the answer.

So 12 ÷ 4 x 6 = 12 x 6 ÷ 4
Same for addition and subtraction - same priority

Using PEMDAS

(9 - 1) is executed first giving 8

The expression becomes 8 + 8 ÷ 4

Next division is performed so 8 ÷ 4 is executed giving 2 as the answer

Finally 8 + 2 is executed giving 10

Triangle ABC with vertices A(–4, –4), B(–1, –2), C(3, –1) is rotated 180° about the origin. What are the coordinates of triangle A′B′C′?

Answers

Answer:

A(4, 4), B(1, 2), C(-3, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the triangle is rotated 180° about the origin you are just rotating it 2 quadrants, the size stays the same.

The rule for rotating 180° is if (x, y) is rotating 180° then the new position is (-x, -y).

So:

A(-4, -4), which then becomes B(-(-4), -(-4) ) = B(4, 4)

B(–1, –2) which becomes B(-(–1), –(-2) ) = B(1, 2)

C(3, –1) which becomes C(-3, –(-1) ) = C(-3, 1)

Christmas tree lights are used not only for christmas trees, but sometimes to decorate college dorm rooms. Suppose that a string has 20 light bulbs. These lights are all wired in series, so that if one light bulb fails, the whole string fails. The probability that any one light fails is 0. 2. Each of the individual lights are independent of each other. What is the probability that the string will not fail?.

Answers

If a string has 20 light bulbs and these lights are all wired in series, so that if one light bulb fails, the whole string fails and the probability that any one light fails is 0.2 and each of the individual lights are independent of each other, then the probability that the string will not fail is 0.0115.

Probability in mathematics deals with the likelihood of an event to take place.

The probability that the string will not fail refers to when all 20 bulbs will not fail. As given in the conditions, each of the individual lights are independent of the other. Therefore;

the probability that any one of the lights will not fail is:

1 - probability that any one light fails = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

And we need all 20 to be complete. The unity of events is a product of probabilities. Therefore the probability that the string will not fail is:

P = 0.8^20

P = 0.0115

Hence 0.0115 is the probability that the string will not fail.

At a constant temperature, the atmospheric pressure p in pascals is given by the formula p=101.3 e⁻⁰.⁰⁰¹h , where h is the altitude in meters. What is p at an altitude of 500 m ?

Answers

At an altitude of 500 meters, the atmospheric pressure (p) will be 61.46 pascals.

The exponential constant, denoted by the symbol e, is an essential mathematical constant. Its value is approximately equal to 2.718. This value occurs very frequently in mathematics when it is used to model physical and economic phenomena.

Here, we are given an exponential function- p = 101.3[tex]e^{-0.001h}[/tex]

where p = atmospheric pressure in pascals

h = altitude in meters.

If the altitude is 500m

h = 500

Then,

p = 101.3 [tex]e^{-0.001 * 500}[/tex]p

=  101.3 [tex]e^{-0.5}[/tex]p

=  101.3/ [tex]e^{-0.5}[/tex]p

= 101.3/ 1.648p

= 61.46

Thus, at an altitude of 500 meters, the atmospheric pressure (p) will be 61.46 pascals.
