CThe first problem occurs in column (2). The units are not equal, so that should not be used as the conversion factor.
DThe first problem occurs in column (1). The problem should begin with cm.
EThis conversion is not possible.
FNo mistakes.


17. Examine the following solution to a conversion problem. Do you see a mistake? If so, identify the location of the first mistake and explain why it is incorrect.



ANo mistakes.
BThe conversion is not possible.

For number 1, I can not understand most of that.

Re: Exponents and Scientific Notation

Oh, I get it.

1) C is correct. You could put some spaces in there. Powers like x squared are written like this x^2 instead of x2.

If this is what 2) is:

Then C is incorrect! Try again please.

Re: Exponents and Scientific Notation

Hi;

When you raise an expression to a power you are really doing this:

So the exponent is (-3)+(-3)+(-3)+(-3)+(-3) = -15

Re: Exponents and Scientific Notation

Nope, I do not think so. I think you write it without the decimal point. Right now it is in scientific notation.
