Concept explainers

Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
Addition
Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

How do figure the answer using the TI-84 calculator?
Suppose some computations were done on a calculator. The result displayed was 3.31E28 for one computation. The result displayed was 5.9E-36 for another computation. Write these numbers in scientific notation. (a) 3.31E28 = (b) 5.9E-36 = x10 X 5
There are rules for converting numbers written in scientific notation to standard form and vice versa. Select all the rules below that correctly apply to scientific notation.           When converting a standard number that is 10 or greater to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the left.         A negative exponent in scientific notation means that the standard form of the number is greater than 10.         When converting a standard number that is between 0 and 1 to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right.         A negative exponent in scientific notation means that the standard form of the number is between 0 and 1.
