Answer: We have c = 3 and d = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to solve the equation:
6200.07 = 6.2x10^c + 7x10^d
First, we can separate the left number into two pieces:
6200.07 = 6200 + 0.07 = 6.2x10^c + 7x10^d
Now we can solve it as:
6200 = 6.2x10^c
6200/6.2 = 10^c
1000 = 10^c
now we can use that if y = a^x, then ln(y)/ln(a) = x
here we have:
c = ln(1000)/ln(10) = 3
and
0.07 = 7x10^d
0.07/7 = 10^d
0.01 = 10^d
d = ln(0.01)/ln(10) = -2
Answer:
b = 3, c = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the standard form of the expression with unknown value
6200.07 = 6.2 × 10^c + 7 × 10^d
Step 1:
We will write 6200.07 as a sum of whole number and a decimal.
6200.07 = 6200+0.07
Step 2:
Expressing each term in it standard form.
6200 = 6.2×10³ ((it has a positive power because it is a value greater than zero)
0.07 = 7×10^-2 (it has a negative power because it is less than zero)
6200.07 = 6.2 × 10^3 + 7 × 10^-2
Comparing with the question, it can be seen that b = 3, c = -2
