A virus strain is 0.00000015 meters in length. What is the length in scientific notation?

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Scientific notation is writing a number 1-10 multiplied by ten to a certain power. We see that we can write the number 1.5 to fit this.

We want to multiply by ten to a negative power as the decimal has been moved to the left. Let's count how many times we need to move the decimal over to get to 1.5.

If we count this, we have to move 7 places to get the decimal in the right spot. Therefore, to write this in scientific notation, we would write 1.5×10^-7.

Have a wonderful day! :D

the answer is. -82562234434584

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation: so we look at the formula un = a + (n-1)d

un is the amount of seats

n is the nth term aka row number

a is the original sequence/row number

d is the difference between each term

so in this a=22 d=6 and n can remain as n because we are simply formjng a rule

lets put these in the equation

un=22+(n-1)(6)

this is your answer to part a

however

lets double check that this is correct, we'll try putting it into the second term

un=a+(n-1)d

u2=22+(2-1)(6)

u2=22+6

u2=28

as the question said the second row has 28 seats so now we know the formula we made is correct.

as for part b

un=a+(n-1)

its asking us to find a row with 100 seats.

remember un was the amount of seata so all we do is substitute this in.

un=100 a=22 d=6

un=a+(n-1)d

100=22+(n-1)(6)

so now we simplify to find n which is the row number.

100-22=22+(n-1)(6)-22

78=(n-1)(6)

78/6=(n-1)(6)/6

13=n-1

13+1=n-1+1

14=n

so now we know that in the 14th row there is 100 seats.

hope this and that you understood! its my first time using the app or anyone out on here : p its also me to revise so a bunch! ask more questions if you dont understand ☺
