Every minute, 840,000,000,000 drops of water flow over Niagara Falls.

Write this number in scientific notation.

a.

b.

How many drops flow over the falls in a day?

for this case we have by definition, if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

then, given the following line:

so,

we are looking for m_ {2}:

then, the line is given by:

we find "b" replacing the given point:

finally, the equation is:

option c

answer: bea's uncle is 25 years old.

step-by-step explanation:

given the equation , we can say that the variable "x" represents the age of bea's uncle. then to find his age, we need to solve for "x":

we must add 15 to both sides of the equation:

now we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3:

therefore, we can conclude that bea's uncle is 25 years old.
