Which of the following is the complete of roofs for the polynomial f(x)=(x^2+2x-15)(x^2+8x+17)
-5,3
-5,3-4+-4-i
-5,3-4+i,4+i
-4+i,-4-i

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.

we can't see all full 4 options, but if this is the full option, than the very left one is correct:

-2/5 * -3 3/4

remake the question, adding a picture of all the question, or write down the full left and right answers.
