Response:

Wavelength, $3.75\times 10^{-5}\ centimeter$

Detailed explanation:

A dermatology patient receiving ultraviolet treatment with a wavelength of 375 nm requires conversion to centimeters.

To begin, relevant conversions must be applied:

$1\ nanometer=10^{-7}\ centimeter$

To convert 375 nm into cm, the unitary method can be applied as follows:

$375\ nanometer=375\times 10^{-7}\ centimeter$

$375\ nanometer=3.75\times 10^{-5}\ centimeter$

Thus, the wavelength of ultraviolet light is $3.75\times 10^{-5}\ centimeter$ . This is the sought-after resolution.

1 nanometer = 1 * 10^9 meters

therefore, 1 nanometer = 1 * 10^7 centimeters

375 nanometers = 3.75 * 10^5 centimeters

Which terms could be used as the first term of the expression below to create a polynomial written in standard form? Select five

babunello [11817]

Answer:

$(A)\dfrac{5s^7}{6}\\(B)s^5\\(E)-6rs^5 \\(F)\dfrac{4r}{5^6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is in its standard form when arranged in descending order based on the variable involved.

Looking at the provided polynomial

$+ 8r^2s^4 - 3r^3s^3$

s is presented in descending powers
r is in ascending order

Thus, the first term of the polynomial should meet these criteria:

Power of r is less than 2
Power of s is greater than 4.

The following meets these requirements:

$(A)\dfrac{5s^7}{6}\\(B)s^5\\(E)-6rs^5 \\(F)\dfrac{4r}{5^6}$

What are the solutions of the equation x4 + 6x2 + 5 = 0? Use u substitution to solve.

tester [12383]

The solutions to the equation are $x=\pm i, x=\pm \sqrt{5}i$

Explanation:

Given the equation $x^{4}+6 x^{2}+5=0$

, we aim to find the solutions of the equation.

Let us use $x^{2} =u$ and $x^4=u^2$

Thus, the equation transforms into

$u^{2}+6 u+5=0$

Factoring the equation results in:

$(u+1)(u+5)=0$

$u=-1, u=-5$

Inserting back $x^{2} =u$ and allows us to solve for x.

Initially, we will substitute $u=-1$

Consequently, we find;

$x^{2} =-1$

$x=\sqrt{-1}$

$x=\pm i$

Similarly, by substituting $u=-5$ , we derive;

$x^{2} =-5$

$x=\sqrt{-5}$

$x=\pm \sqrt{5}i$

Thus, the solutions to the equation are $x=\pm i, x=\pm \sqrt{5}i$

Alejandro surveyed his classmates to determine who has ever gone surfing and who has ever gone snowboarding. Let A be the event

tester [12383]

Answer:

$\text{A and B are independent events}, P(A|B)=P(A)=0.16$

Step-by-step explanation:

To establish independence between two events, we must understand the concept of independence:

Events are deemed independent if $P(A|B)=P(A)$ , which means that the occurrence of one does not influence the probability of the other event.

In this situation, the only selection that aligns with the independence criterion is $P(A|B)=P(A)=0.16$ . Other options do not comply with the independent events definition.
