UFO speed in MPH from nearest galaxy in one year |
2021-05-22 |
|
Joe pose la question : If the next closest galaxy is 15 quadrillion miles away and there are 8760 hours
in one year; how fast would a UFO have to fly to travel from the next
galaxy, in MPH in one year ?
Google calculator gives this result: 1.7123288e+12
I don't understand what the "e+12" means.
How is that pronounced, ex. trillion, quadrillion etc..?

0^(a+bi) |
2020-12-03 |
|
Douglas pose la question : I realize raising 0^a = 0 if a>0 and undefined if a<=0.
If have read that 0^bi is undefined for all b.
What I don't understand is why 0^(a+bi) = 0 if a and b are not equal to zero.
Is this purely by definition or is there a logical reason why this is the case?

michael pose la question : I was teaching my student about exponent when we stumbled across this problem.
"write (-125)^-3 in exponent form"
The problem is with the number "-125". I think -125 = (-5)^3. But one of my student thought that it is -125= -5^3.
Both of them is equal to -125 but they totally different in structure. I wonder which one is correct and why it is. I am worried if they get this wrong, it might spell problem in the future when we start substituting the numbers with variable.
Thank you very much for reading my question and answering it. Penny Nom lui répond. |

Paramecia reproduce by splitting in two. In a laboratory flask, a colony of paramecia had an initial population of 500. Each day, the population of the paramecia was counted. The results are as listed.
Time (in days)------Population
0-----------------------500
1-----------------------600
2-----------------------720
3-----------------------864
4----------------------1037
5---------------------1244
6---------------------1493
7----------------------1792
8---------------------2150
1.)Using graphing calculator make a scatter plot of the data in table.
I think I did this part right I set my window at Xmin=0 Xmax=10 Xscl=1 Ymin=0 Ymax=2500 Yscl=100 Xres=1
2.) Determine an exponential equation to represent the population as a function of time without using a graphing calculator.I have no clue how to do this.
3.)Suppose the flask and food supply is large enough to support the trend of the population growth. Estimate the population of the colony when the time is 10 days. Penny Nom lui répond. |

have encountered problem with the lack of memory every calculator
seems to have. No calculator, on or off the computer, I've found
has the amount of memory or writing space to calculate the sums I want
to solve. The sums are in great importance for my continued progress.
The sums are following:

Suppose C(t) is the amount of C-14 at time t. - Find the value of the constant k in the differential equation: C'=-kC
- In 1988 3 teams of scientists found that the Shroud of Turin, which was reputed to be the burial cloth of Jesus, contained 91% of the amount of C-14 contained in freshly made cloth of the same material. How old is the Shroud according to the data?
