Nicole just lit a new candle and then let it burn all the way down to nothing. The initial length of the candle was 12 inches and the candle burned at a rate of 1.5 inches per hour. Make a table of values and then write an equation for L, L, in terms of t, t, representing the length of the candle remaining unburned, in inches, tt hours after the candle was lit.

On the way home from visiting his family, vincent’s plane cruised at an altitude of 3.2 × 10^4 feet. he had heard that a man named felix baumgartner skydived from an altitude of 1.28 × 10^5 feet. vincent wants to know how much higher felix went on his skydiving trip. question 1 you have already seen how adding numbers works in either scientific notation or standard notation. but can you subtract numbers in scientific notation and get the same results as subtracting in standard notation? to find out, first solve vincent’s problem in standard notation. part a write the cruising altitude of vincent’s plane in standard notation.
