Fourteen bicycles are produced each hour at the Speedy Bike Works. Show that the relationship between
the number of bikes produced and the number of hours is a proportional relationship. Then enter an
equation for the relationship, using x as the variable that represents the number of hours.
After 1 hour, bicycles are produced. After 3 hours, bikes are produced. The ratio
(in simplest form) of bikes produced per hour after 1 hour is
The ratio (in simplest form) after
3 hours is . Since the ratios between the two quantities are (select) the relationship
(select) proportional.
The equation that describes the relationship is y =

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.

add a pic of the graph, then ill edit this "answer" and solve it for you : 3
