Multiplying and Dividing by Powers of 10 When multiplying a number by 10, move the decimal to the right. When multiplying a number by 0.1, move the decimal to the left. Why?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Because we actually divide by 10 when a number is multiplied by 0.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]a[/tex] be a number.

When we multiply a number by 10:

[tex]a \times 10 = 10 a[/tex] (One '0' is increased in the number)

For example:

[tex]23 \times 10 = 230[/tex]

Considering a decimal number:

[tex]2.3 \times 10 = 23[/tex]

Multiplying a number with 0.1 (which is actually [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]) means dividing the number by 10.

[tex]23\times 0.1 =23\times \frac{1}{10}=2.3[/tex]

Considering a decimal number:

[tex]2.3 \times 0.1 = 2.3 \times \frac{1}{10} = 0.23[/tex]

Therefore, When multiplying a number by 0.1, move the decimal to the left.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sample Response: You move the decimal to the right when multiplying a number by 10 because you are making the number bigger. You move the decimal to the left when multiplying a number by 0.1 because you are making the number smaller.

Suppose Jerome reads the following numbers of pages each day. Will he meet his goal of reading at least 85 pages by the end of the day Friday?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Jerome has already read 50 pages of a novel and read p pages each day from Monday to Friday.

If Jerome read at least 85 pages by the end of Friday, inequality will be,

50 + 5p ≥ 85

If Jerome reads 6 pages each day,

For p = 6,

Inequality will be,

50 + 5(6) ≥ 85

80 ≥ 85

It's not true.

Therefore, he will not meet his goal.

If p = 7,

Inequality will be,

50 + 5(7) ≥ 85

85 ≥ 85

It's true.

Therefore, he will meet his goal.

If p = 8,

Inequality will be,

50 + 5(8) ≥ 85

90 ≥ 85

It's true.

Therefore, he will meet his goal.

After 8 months, you have been able to save $937. You have the ability to save $130 per month. Build a model and write an explanation of the y- intercept. What is the rate of change?

Answers

Given:

After 8 months, you have been able to save $937.

You have the ability to save $130 per month.

To find:

The model for the situation and y-intercept and rate of change.

Solution:

Let y be the ability to saving after x months.

Ability to save in one month = $130

Ability to save in x months = $130x

So, total ability is

[tex]y=130x+b[/tex]      ...(i)

where, b is initial savings.

After 8 months, you have been able to save $937.  So, the point is (8,937).

Put x=8 and y=937 in (i),

[tex]937=130(8)+b[/tex]

[tex]937=1040+b[/tex]

[tex]937-1040=b[/tex]

[tex]-103=b[/tex]

So, the y-intercept is -103. Here, negative sign represents that we cannot able to save initially or we have loan or liabilities of $103.

Put b=-103 in (i).

[tex]y=130x+(-103)[/tex]  

[tex]y=130x-103[/tex]

On comparing with slope intercept form, we get

Slope = 130 and y-intercept = -103

Therefore, the slope is 130 and y-intercept is -103.

At a model rocket competition, Mrs. Jennings launches a rocket is launched upward
from the ground with an initial velocity of 138 feet per second.
The formula for vertical motion is
h(t) = 0.5at? + vt +s, where the gravitational constant, a, is -32 feet per second squared, v
is the initial velocity, and s is the initial height. Time t is measured in seconds, velocity
v is measured in feet per second, and heights h and s are measured in feet.
Write the function that describes the height, h in feet, of the rocket l seconds into
launch

Answers

Answer:

The function that describes the height, h in feet, of the rocket, t seconds into launch is h = -16·t² + 138·t

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial velocity of the rocket, v = 138 feet per second

The vertical motion formula = h(t) = 0.5·a·t² + v·t + s

The gravitational constant, a = -32 ft./s²

s = The initial height of the rocket

Therefore, he have;

The height of the rocket, t seconds seconds into launch is given as follows;

Height = h = h(t) - s = 0.5·a·t² + v·t

Substituting the known values gives;

h(t) - s = 0.5 × (-32) × t² + 138 × t = -16·t² + 138·t

h = -16·t² + 138·t

The function that describes the height, h in feet, of the rocket, t seconds into launch is h = -16·t² + 138·t.

Answer:

b = 148.5052112

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of b we will use the trigonometry functions

∵ The triangle is a right triangle

∵ The measure of one of its acute angles = 68°

∵ The length of the side opposite to the angle of measure 68° is b

∴ The opposite side = b

∵ The length of the side adjacent to the angle of measure 68° is 60

∴ The adjacent side = 60

∵ The function tan(x) = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

∴ tan(68°) = [tex]\frac{b}{60}[/tex]

→ Multiply both sides by 60 to cancel the denominator of the right side

∴ 60 × tan(68°) = b

∴ 148.5052112 = b

b = 148.5052112

Answer:

b = 148.5052112

Step-by-step explanation:

company A = 28,000 + 3,000 (x)

company B = 36,000 + 2,000 (x)

where x = no. of years.

company A = company B

28,000 + 3,000 (x) = 36,000 + 2000 (x)

3,000 (x) - 2,000 (x) = 36,000 - 28,000

1,000 (x) = 8,000

x = 8,000

     1,000

x = 8 years

plugin value of x = 8 into company A and B

company A = 28,000 + 3,000 (8)

company A = 52,000

company B = 36,000 + 2,000 (8)

company B = 52,000

WILL MAKE BRAINLIEST! Let sin 21 = 0.358. What is the value of x for cos x = 0.358

Answers

Answer:

The value of x is 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right angle triangle, if m and n are the two acute angles on it, then

m + n = 90° sin(m) = cos(n)cos(m) = sin(n)

That means if sin(m) = cos(n), then m + n = 90°

Let us use these facts to solve the question

∵ sin(21°) = 0.358

∵ cos(x°) = 0.358

→ That means sin(21°) = cos(x°)

sin(21°) = cos(x°)

→ By using the facts above

21 + x = 90°

→ Subtract 21 from both sides

∵ 21 - 21 + x = 90 - 21

x = 69°

The value of x is 69°
