Let me know (the answer ; explain if u want to)

It takes 500 seconds for sunlight to reach Earth.

The mass of the sun is 18.98 * 10^28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1) In order to solve problem number one, you would need to divide. Remember, in math in order to get from the smaller unit to the bigger unit, you divide.

Step 2) In this case, the smaller unit is the distance from the sun to earth. The bigger unit in the other hand, is the speed of light.

Step 3) 1.5 * 10^11/300,000,000 = 500

It takes 500 seconds for sunlight to reach Earth.

Step 1) In order to solve problem number 2, convert 26,000,000 in scientific notation which is 2.6 * 10^7.

Step 2) Now, multiply the mass of the sun by the mass of the moon.

(7.3*10^22) * (2.6 * 10^7)

Step 3) Note: whenver you multiply with exponents, you must always add them, the base remains the same.

10^22 + 10^7 = 10^29

7.3 * 2.6 = 18.98

To conclude, the mass of the sun is 18.98 * 10^28.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
