      I studied before lecture and my instructor mention things that was’t really worth mentioning. I could explain it in a few sentences while she was going into detail for each step. Great instructor but other students were left confused.
      All we need is the formula, and a little guidance. no need for fancy words or background history. Just need to be nice and simple. By nice, maybe have the conversions placed separately instead of writing it next to the formula.

    For anyone who is stuck on how the they get 10^14 from 3*10^8/350*10^-9. Do 3/350, the answer is 8.57* 10^-3. then do 8-(-9)=10^17. simply add them 8.57*10^-3 + 10^17= 8.57*10^14.

    I've said it before but I'll say it online. People learn at different speeds. And I can't stress enough the satisfaction of being able to pause my "teacher" when they say something like "okay solve this" to work it out best I can and then unpause them. As in my head I see my "teacher" getting the satisfaction of continually telling the subject to the best of their ability without the need to slow down. As at any moment I can pause or just use my left or right arrow key to go back and forth. Gods what an era we live in.

    • @graces990
      @graces990 6 років тому +95

      When you divide 3 by 350 you get .00857, when you subtract the powers you get 17 (since 8-(-9) is 8+9). So you have .00857*10^17, but this is not in scientific notation. For scientific notation you need a number between 1 and 10, .00857 is below 1 so you're going to have to simplifiy it further. Move the decimal 3 places to the right and you have 8.57, and the power will turn to 14 because you moved right three times.

    Question: Do the various waves that come out from the sun come out individually ( radio waves. Microwaves, x-ray waves) or do they come out in a combined wave having high and low frequency rates? And how is it separated?

    On a Ti-84 you need to use the EE button because EE mean 10. And you put in the exponent next to it.
    Example for Ti-84:
    3e8/2.5e12
    For a Ti-34 you need to put them in parentheses like this
    Example for Ti-34:
    3x10^8/(2.5x10^12)
    Your welcome 🙏
