Simplify the expression. Write the answer using scientific notation. (7 × 105)2 a. 4.9 × 1010 b. 4.9 × 1011 c. 4.9 × 109 d. 49 × 1010

b. 4.9 × 1011

Step-by-step explanation:

Using scientific notation is similar to expressing in standard form. Given that (7 × 105)2

We open the parenthesis. This may first be expressed as

7² × 10⁽⁵⁾²

Then expand,

= 49 × 10¹⁰

To put in scientific notation, 49 = 4.9 × 10

Hence the expression becomes

= 4.9 × 10 × 10¹⁰

Using the laws of indices

= 4.9 ×  10¹¹ in scientific notation

step-by-step explanation:

subtract 7, so the answer is x < = 3, or c.

(a) common ratio in the given sequence is, 3

(b) push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week

step-by-step explanation:

geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that follows a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio(r)

(a)

given the sequence: 6 , 18 , 54 , 162 ,

this sequence is geometric sequence where each term is 3 times the previous term.

therefore,

common ratio(r) = 3.

(b)

a formula for nth term of geometric sequence is given by;

,   where r is the common ratio between the successive terms and is the first term,

to find how many push ups will kendall do on the 20th week.

here. n = 20th term.

in the given sequence first term

then;

simplify:

therefore, push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week
