An airplane is flying overhead at a constant elevation of 12000 ft. A man is viewing the plane from a position 9000 ft from the base of a radio tower. The airplane is flying horizontally away from the man. If the plane is flying at the rate of 6000 ft/sec, at what rate is the distance between the man and the plane increasing when the plane passes over the radio tower?

4x and 6y

im not sure though

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.

strong negative correlation
