In the previous activity, you found an equation with a negative unit rate, y = -50x – 100. This equation gave the depth of a submarine, y, given time, x. It assumes that the submarine starts at a depth of 100 feet, and then starts descending at a rate of 50 feet per minute. In this activity, you will graph the equation. Part C
The line formed by this equation lies in several quadrants on the graph. In which quadrant specifically does the equation describe the submarine’s movement? Why only this quadrant?

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.

it would not be increasing by nothing that i can see probably by 25 percent that is all i can sat\y for now if i have any thing else to say i will edit this.
