Question
The following times are given using metric prefixes on the base SI unit of time: the second. Rewrite them in scientific notation without the prefix (in s). For example, 47 Ts would be rewritten as 4.7 ✕ 1013 s. (Enter your answers as m ✕ 10n, where 1 ≤ |m| < 10 and n is an integer.)

Find the rate at which the student is gaining (or losing) knowledge as a function of time (be sure to give the units). b. During what time between t = 0 and 11 is the student losing knowledge? c. Sketch a graph of the function F(t).arrow_forward
- Part II. Significant Figures The significant figures in a number are all figures that are obtained from the measuring process and exclude those zeros that are included solely for the purpose of locating the decimal point. This definition will be clarified with a number of examples.
