A human hair is approximately 40 microns (um) wide. If 1 um is equal to 10
-6
meters (m),
and 1 nanometer (nm) is equal to 10-9m, then how many nanometers wide is a human hair?
A
0.0004 nm
B
0.004 nm
C
4,000 nm
D
40,000 nm

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D 40,000nm

Step-by-step explanation: 1nm/10^-9m * 10^-6/1um = 10^3 nm/um

Therefore in 40 microns there are:

40um * 10^3 nm/um = 40 * 10^3 nm = 40,000 nm

Answer 2

The human hair is 40,000 nanometers wide.

Option D is the correct answer.

Given,

A human hair is approximately 40 microns (um) wide.

1 um is equal to [tex]10^{-6}[/tex] meters (m)

1 nanometer (nm) is equal to [tex]10^{-9}[/tex] m.

We need to find how many nanometers wide is human hair.

How do we add exponents?

We can add the exponents if we have the same base.

Example:

a² x a³ = [tex]a^{(2+3)}[/tex] = [tex]a^{5}[/tex]

[tex]a^{-2}[/tex] x [tex]a^{-3}[/tex] = [tex]a^{(-2 +( -3))}[/tex] = [tex]a^{-5}[/tex]

We have,

Human hair = 40 microns (um) wide.

And,

1 um = [tex]10^{-6}[/tex] m

1 nm = [tex]10^{-9}[/tex] m

[tex]10^{-9}[/tex] m = 1 nm

Multiplying by 10³ on both sides.

[tex]10^{-9}[/tex] x 10³ = 10³ nm

[tex]10^{(-9+3)}[/tex] = 10³ nm

[tex]10^{-6}[/tex] m = 10³ nm

1 um = [tex]10^{-6}[/tex]m

1 um = 10³ nm

Human hair = 40 um

1 um = 10³ nm

Multiplying 40 on both sides.

40 x 1 um = 40 x 10³ nm

40 um = 40 x 1000 nm

40 um = 40,000 nm

Thus human hair is 40,000 nanometers wide.

4 (((((((2•(a3))+(4•(a2)))-2a)-————)-(4•(a2)))-4a)+16)•(((((a2)-6a)+22a2)+2a)-4) (a3)

STEP 3 :

Equation at the end of step3:

4 (((((((2•(a3))+(4•(a2)))-2a)-————)-22a2)-4a)+16)•(5a2-4a-4) (a3)

STEP 4 :

4 Simplify —— a3

Equation at the end of step4:

4 (((((((2•(a3))+(4•(a2)))-2a)-——)-22a2)-4a)+16)•(5a2-4a-4) a3

STEP 5 :

Equation at the end of step5:

4 (((((((2•(a3))+22a2)-2a)-——)-22a2)-4a)+16)•(5a2-4a-4) a3

STEP 6 :

Equation at the end of step6:

4 ((((((2a3+22a2)-2a)-——)-22a2)-4a)+16)•(5a2-4a-4) a3

STEP7:Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

 7.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  a3  as the denominator :

2a3 + 4a2 - 2a (2a3 + 4a2 - 2a) • a3 2a3 + 4a2 - 2a = —————————————— = ————————————————————— 1 a3

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

STEP8:Pulling out like terms

 8.1     Pull out like factors :

   2a3 + 4a2 - 2a  =   2a • (a2 + 2a - 1) 

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 8.2     Factoring  a2 + 2a - 1 

The first term is,  a2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  +2a  its coefficient is  2 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -1 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -1 = -1 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -1  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   2 .

     -1   +   1   =   0

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 8.3       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

2a • (a2+2a-1) • a3 - (4) 2a6 + 4a5 - 2a4 - 4 ————————————————————————— = ——————————————————— a3 a3

Equation at the end of step8:

(2a6+4a5-2a4-4) (((———————————————-22a2)-4a)+16)•(5a2-4a-4) a3

STEP9:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 9.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  a3  as the denominator :

22a2 22a2 • a3 22a2 = ———— = ————————— 1 a3

STEP10:

Pulling out like terms :

 10.1     Pull out like factors :

   2a6 + 4a5 - 2a4 - 4  = 

  2 • (a6 + 2a5 - a4 - 2) 

Checking for a perfect cube :

 10.2    a6 + 2a5 - a4 - 2  is not a perfect cube

Trying to factor by pulling out :

 10.3      Factoring:  a6 + 2a5 - a4 - 2 

Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :

Group 1:  -a4 - 2 

Group 2:  a6 + 2a5 

Pull out from each group separately :

Group 1:   (a4 + 2) • (-1)

Group 2:   (a + 2) • (a5)

Bad news !! Factoring by pulling out fails :

The groups have no common factor and can not be added up to form a multiplication.

Polynomial Roots Calculator :

 10.4    Find roots (zeroes) of :       F(a) = a6 + 2a5 - a4 - 2

Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of  a  for which   F(a)=0

A factory makes 84 toys robots in a day after they purchase new equipment now they make 205 robots a day

Answers

Based on the given information the percent gain is 144%.

Initial production rate = 84 toy robots per day

Present production rate = 205 robots per day

Using this formula

Percent gain=  Increase in production rate /Initial production rate× 100  

Where:

Increase in production rate = 205 - 84 =121

Initial production rate = 84 toy robots per day

Let plug in the formula

Percent gain=121/84×100

Percent gain=144%

Inconclusion the percent gain is 144%.

x = 60y = 70

============================================

Explanation:

The parallel lines show that x = 60 since the 60 and the x angles are alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are congruent when we have parallel lines like this.

Focusing on the largest triangle, the three angles add to 180 degrees

x+y+50 = 180

60+y+50 = 180

y+110 = 180

y = 180-110

y = 70

This triangle appears to be equilateral, but it's not entirely so (it's fairly close however). That 50 degree angle in the bottom right corner would need to be 60 degrees for it to be equilateral.

2x + 4y = -16

The y-intercept occurs when x=0. Replace x with 0 and solve for y:

4y = -16

y = -4

Therefore, the y-intercept is -4.
