Electric power (p), measured in watts, is a function of (i), the amount of current flowing, measured in amperes. In a 120-volt circuit with a resistance of 20 ohms:

p(i) [_] 120i [_] 20i^2

Find the amount of amperes required to yield 100 watts or more in this electric circuit.

This is supposed to be an Algebra 2 question, but it seems suspiciously scientific to me. can anyone help out with this?

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.

what are you trying to solve here

step-by-step explanation:

range =5

step-by-step explanation:

to find the range, we take the largest value and subtract the smallest value.

the largest value is 5

the smallest value is 0

the range is 5-0   =5
