Which expression is equivalent to 3⁴ * 3-⁹

= 3⁻⁵

= 1/(3⁵)

Step-by-step explanation:

3⁴ * 3⁻⁹ = 3⁴⁺⁹ = 3⁻⁵ = 1/(3⁵)

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.

in 2010, the population of the state of california is 37.29 × 10⁶

step-by-step explanation:

population of los angeles = 3.79 × 10⁶

population of california = 9.84 × population of los angeles

                                        = 9.84 × 3.79 × 10⁶

                                        = 37.2936 × 10⁶

                                        = 37.29 × 10⁶

∴ in 2010, the population of the state of california is 37.29 × 10⁶
