1.2) 8 x 10^4 = 80000
1.3) 2 x 10^-2 = 0.02
1.4) 3 x 10^-5 = 0.00003
1.5) 6 x 10^1 = 60
1.6) 9 x 10^0 = 9
1.7) 7 x 10^-3 = 0.007
1.8) 4 x 10^-6 = 0.000004
Exercise 2: Adding and Subtracting Powers of Ten
2.1) 3 x 10^5 + 2 x 10^4 = 320000
2.2) 4 x 10^3 - 5 x 10^2 = 3500
2.3) 6 x 10^2 + 7 x 10^1 = 670
2.4) 9 x 10^-2 - 8 x 10^-3 = 0.08
2.5) 2 x 10^0 + 3 x 10^-1 = 2.3
2.6) 5 x 10^-3 - 6 x 10^-4 = 0.0044
2.7) 8 x 10^4 + 9 x 10^3 = 89000
2.8) 1 x 10^1 - 2 x 10^0 = 8
Exercise 3: Evaluating Expressions with Powers of Ten
3.1) 5 x 10^3 + 2 x 10^2 - 3 x 10^1 = 5200
3.2) (6 x 10^2 + 4 x 10^1) x 2 = 1280
3.3) (8 x 10^3 - 5 x 10^2) / 3 = 2500
3.4) (2 x 10^0 + 7 x 10^-1) - (4 x 10^-2) = 2.66
3.5) (9 x 10^-2 + 6 x 10^-3) x 5 = 0.465
3.6) (3 x 10^5 - 2 x 10^4) / 4 = 72000
3.7) (7 x 10^1 + 9 x 10^0) - (8 x 10^-1) = 78.8
3.8) (1 x 10^-2 - 6 x 10^-3) x 7 = 0.007
Exercise 4: Solving Real-World Problems with Powers of Ten
4.1) The distance from Earth to the Moon is approximately 3.8 x 10^5 kilometers. If a spaceship travels at a speed of 6.5 x 10^4 kilometers per hour, how long will it take to reach the Moon? Solution: Time = Distance / Speed = (3.8 x 10^5) / (6.5 x 10^4) = 5.846 hours
4.2) The mass of a proton is approximately 1.67 x 10^-27 kilograms. If there are 9.8 x 10^18 protons in a sample, what is the total mass of the sample? Solution: Mass = Mass of one proton x Number of protons = (1.67 x 10^-27) x (9.8 x 10^18) = 1.6376 x 10^-8 kilograms
4.3) The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second. If a beam of light travels for 2.5 x 10^-6 seconds, how far does it travel? Solution: Distance = Speed x Time = (3 x 10^8) x (2.5 x 10^-6) = 7.5 x 10^2 meters
4.4) The population of a city is currently 5.2 x 10^6 people. If the population increases by 3.5% each year, what will be the population after 10 years? Solution: Population after 10 years = Initial population x (1 + Growth rate)^Number of years = (5.2 x 10^6) x (1 + 0.035)^10 = 8.006 x 10^6 people
