1: Ten baseballs weigh 1,417.4 grams. About how much does 1 baseball weigh? 2: Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a gram. 3:Round your answer to the nearest gram. 4: Which answer would you give if someone asked, "About how much does a baseball weigh?" Explain your choice.

141.74 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of each baseball weighs is shown below:-

Each baseball weighs = Total weight of all ten baseballs ÷ Total amount

= 1,417.4 ÷ 10

= 141.74 grams

Therefore for determining the each baseball weighs we simply applied the above formula.

The same is to be considered

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
