Math Problem Statement

The image includes three mathematical problems related to scientific notation and exponents. The first problem involves converting a predicted economic impact into scientific notation, the second asks to calculate 32% of a given value and convert it into scientific notation, and the third simplifies an expression involving exponents of powers of 2.

Solution

Looking at the uploaded image, the mathematical problems visible appear to relate to scientific notation and exponents. I'll describe and solve the relevant parts based on what I see.

Problem 4:

The text asks to write the predicted maximum impact of the event in scientific notation. The options provided are:

  • (A) 5.64×1065.64 \times 10^6 euros
  • (B) 5.64×1085.64 \times 10^8 euros
  • (C) 0.564×1090.564 \times 10^9 euros
  • (D) 5.64×1075.64 \times 10^7 euros

From the context, the most accurate answer seems to be (A) 5.64×1065.64 \times 10^6 euros. This correctly represents the value given in scientific notation for millions of euros.

Problem 5:

This problem asks to write 32% of 258.5 million in scientific notation.

  • First, calculate 32% of 258.5 million: 32%×258.5=0.32×258.5=82.72 million32\% \times 258.5 = 0.32 \times 258.5 = 82.72 \text{ million}

  • Convert 82.72 million to scientific notation: 82.72 million=82.72×106=8.272×10782.72 \text{ million} = 82.72 \times 10^6 = 8.272 \times 10^7

Thus, the answer is 8.272×1078.272 \times 10^7 euros.

Bottom Problem:

The next visible problem involves simplifying the expression (83)5×(1)6215\frac{(8^{-3})^5 \times (-1)^{-6}}{2^{-15}} and expressing the result as a power of 2.

Let me solve this:

(83)5=815=(23)15=245(8^{-3})^5 = 8^{-15} = (2^3)^{-15} = 2^{-45} (1)6=1(since (1) to an even power is 1)(-1)^{-6} = 1 \quad (\text{since } (-1) \text{ to an even power is 1}) 245215=245+15=230\frac{2^{-45}}{2^{-15}} = 2^{-45 + 15} = 2^{-30}

Thus, the simplified form is 2302^{-30}.
