On certain days of the week, Elaine runs for an
hour on a treadmill. For each day that she ran in
the last week, the table above shows the average
speed s at which she ran, in miles per hour, and
the number of calories c she burned during the
run. If the relationship between c and s can be
modeled by a linear function, which of the
following functions best models the
relationship?
A) c(s) = 30s + 400
B) c(s) = 60s + 210
C) c(s) = 80s + 40
D) c(s) = 90s - 30

360/29

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.
