A student conducted an experiment to test whether talking to plants would help them to grow faster. He set up the following two groups: Group 1: spoken to and hand watered Group 2: not spoken to and hand watered After three weeks, the plants in Group 1 showed much more growth than those in Group 2.

Name the independent and dependent variable.

Group 1 is the dependent variable, and group 2 is the independent

Step-by-step explanation: The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured or tested in an experiment. So, Group 1 would be the dependent variable, because as it says the the group 1 plants were spoken to and hand watered as in they changed the outcome of the experiment.

The independent variable is the variable the experimenter changes or controls. So, the independent variable would be group 2 because the group 2 plants outcome was not determines anything but it's self.

Group 1 is the dependent variable, and group 2 is the independent

the answer is 175.4379

step-by-step explanation:

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.
