alvin is running at a rate of 3 meters per second. the meters he runs, m, in s seconds is given by the equation m=3s. identify the dependent and the independent variable. explain your reasoning.

The dependent variable is the rate (3 meters per second) and the independent variable is m (the amount of meters he runs). This is because the rate changes based on the amount of meters he runs.

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.
