Mr. Science has a pair of hamsters. The hamsters have 2 babies. Those babies grow up and have 2 babies of their own.
Write the number of baby hamsters from the previous day as a numeral expression using exponential notation. How many babies are there all together.
A doctor discovered that, over the years, 95% of the babies he has delivered weighed y pounds, where StartAbsoluteValue y minus 8.1 EndAbsoluteValueless than or equals1.7. What range of weights corresponds to this inequality
To write the number of baby hamsters from the previous day as a numeral expression using exponential notation, we'll first need to determine the number of baby hamsters. Let's break it down step by step:
1) Mr. Science has a pair of hamsters, which means there are initially 2 hamsters.
2) The original pair of hamsters has 2 babies, so we now have 2 + 2 = 4 hamsters in total.
3) The babies grow up and have 2 babies of their own, resulting in an additional 2 + 2 = 4 hamsters.
4) To find the total number of babies from the previous day, we add up the number of babies produced by each generation: 2 + 4 = 6 baby hamsters.
Now, let's write the number of baby hamsters (6) as a numeral expression using exponential notation:
6 can be written as 6 * 10^0, since any number raised to the power of zero equals 1. Therefore, the numeral expression in exponential notation for 6 baby hamsters is 6 * 10^0.
As for the total number of babies altogether, we calculate the number of babies from the previous day (6) and add them to the original pair of hamsters and their second generation babies: 2 + 4 + 6 = 12 baby hamsters in total.
