Scientists discovered a large star 250,000 light-years from earth. a light-yearis about 5,880,000,000,000 miles. what is the distance of the large star fromearth in scientific notation?

B. 1.47*10^18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Distance of largest start from earth in light years = 250000

1 light year = 5880000000000 miles

So,

Distance of largest star from earth in miles = 250000 * 5880000000000

= 1470000000000000000 miles

In order to convert in scientific notation, point will be moved 18 places to the left, so the number will become:

1.47* 10^18 miles

So option B is correct..

OPTION B

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation has the form:

Where "a" is a number between 1 and 10 but is not less than 10 and "n" is an integer.

If a light-year is about 5,880,000,000,000 miles and the large star is 250,000 light-years from Earth, then this distance in miles is:

To express this distance in scientific notation, the decimal point must be after the first digit. You can observe that the decimal point must be moved 18 places, then:

and  

Therefore, you get that the distance of the large star from Earth in scientific notation is:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
