included in the interval, so we use parentheses. Interval notation
is (0, 5). 22. [1, 2] 23. The endpoint 9 is included in the
interval, so we use a bracket before the 9. The endpoint 4 is not
included, so we use a parenthesis after the 4. Interval notation is

so we use brackets. Interval notation is [x, x + h]. 26. (x, x + h]

parenthesis before the p. The interval is of unlimited ex- tent in

notation. We want the decimal point to be positioned between the 4
and the rst 0, so we move it 5 places to the left. Since 405,000 is
greater than 10, the exponent must be positive. 405, 000 = 4.05 105
52. Position the decimal point 6 places to the left, between the 1
and the 6. Since 1,670,000 is greater than 10, the exponent must be
positive. 1, 670, 000 = 1.67 106 53. Convert 0.00000039 to scientic
notation. We want the decimal point to be positioned between the 3
and the 9, so we move it 7 places to the right. Since 0.00000039 is
a number between 0 and 1, the exponent must be negative. 0.00000039
= 3.9 107 54. Position the decimal point 4 places to the right,
between the 9 and the 2. Since 0.00092 is a number between 0 and 1,
the exponent must be negative. 0.00092 = 9.2 104 55. Convert
234,600,000,000 to scientic notation. We want the decimal point to
be positioned between the 2 and the 3, so we move it 11 places to
the left. Since 234,600,000,000 is greater than 10, the exponent
must be positive. 234, 600, 000, 000 = 2.346 1011 56. Position the
decimal point 9 places to the left, between the 8 and the 9. Since
8,904,000,000 is greater than 10, the exponent must be positive. 8,
904, 000, 000 = 8.904 109 57. Convert 0.00104 to scientic notation.
We want the deci- mal point to be positioned between the 1 and the
last 0, so we move it 3 places to the right. Since 0.00104 is a
number between 0 and 1, the exponent must be negative. 0.00104 =
1.04 103 58. Position the decimal point 9 places to the right,
between the 5 and the 1. Since 0.00000000514 is a number between 0
and 1, the exponent must be negative. 0.00000000514 = 5.14 109 59.
Convert 0.000016 to scientic notation. We want the decimal point to
be positioned between the 1 and the 6, so we move it 5 places to
the right. Since 0.000016 is a number between 0 and 1, the exponent
must be negative. 0.000016 = 1.6 105 60. Position the decimal point
12 places to the left, between the ones. Since 1,137,000,000,000 is
greater than 10, the exponent must be positive. 1, 137, 000, 000,
000 = 1.137 1012
8. Exercise Set R.2 5 61. Convert 8.3 105 to decimal notation.
The exponent is negative, so the number is between 0 and 1. We move
the decimal point 5 places to the left. 8.3 105 = 0.000083 62. The
exponent is positive, so the number is greater than 10. We move the
decimal point 6 places to the right. 4.1 106 = 4, 100, 000 63.
Convert 2.07 107 to decimal notation. The exponent is positive, so
the number is greater than 10. We move the decimal point 7 places
to the right. 2.07 107 = 20, 700, 000 64. The exponent is negative,
so the number is between 0 and 1. We move the decimal point 6
places to the left. 3.15 106 = 0.00000315 65. Convert 3.496 1010 to
decimal notation. The exponent is positive, so the number is
greater than 10. We move the decimal point 10 places to the right.
3.496 1010 = 34, 960, 000, 000 66. The exponent is positive, so the
number is greater than 10. We move the decimal point 11 places to
the right. 8.409 1011 = 840, 900, 000, 000 67. Convert 5.41 108 to
decimal notation. The exponent is negative, so the number is
between 0 and 1. We move the decimal point 8 places to the left.
5.41 108 = 0.0000000541 68. The exponent is negative, so the number
is between 0 and 1. We move the decimal point 10 places to the
left. 6.27 1010 = 0.000000000627 69. Convert 2.319 108 to decimal
notation. The exponent is positive, so the number is greater than
10. We move the decimal point 8 places to the right. 2.319 108 =

might try to factor this polynomial as a dierence of squares, but
there is no integer which yields 5 when squared. Thus, the
polynomial is prime. 84. There are no common factors and there is
no integer which yields 7 when squared, so 16x2 7 is prime. 85. m2

two pairs of factors can be written in the opposite order as well:
4 1, 4(1). 4. Find a pair of factors for which the sum of the out-

number}. 2. Since 8 x = 0 when x = 8, the domain is {x|x is a real
number and x = 8}. 3. 3x 3 x(x 1) The denominator is 0 when the
factor x = 0 and also when x 1 = 0, or x = 1. The domain is {x|x is
a real number and x = 0 and x = 1}. 4. 15x 10 2x(3x 2) Since 2x = 0
when x = 0 and 3x 2 = 0 when x = 2 3 , the domain is x x is a real

is {x|x is a real number and x = 2 and x = 1 and x = 1}. 7. We rst
factor the denominator completely. 7x2 28x + 28 (x2 4)(x2 +3x10) =
7x2 28x + 28 (x+2)(x2)(x+5)(x2) We see that x + 2 = 0 when x = 2, x
2 = 0 when x = 2, and x + 5 = 0 when x = 5. Thus, the domain is
{x|x is a real number and x = 2 and x = 2 and x = 5}. 8. 7x2 + 11x
6 x(x2 x 6) = 7x2 + 11x 6 x(x 3)(x + 2) The denominator is 0 when x
= 0 or when x 3 = 0 or when x + 2 = 0. Now x 3 = 0 when x = 3 and x
+ 2 = 0 when x = 2. Thus, the domain is {x|x is a real number and x
= 0 and x = 3 and x = 2}. 9. x2 4 x2 4x + 4 = (x + 2)(x2) (x 2)(x2)

denominator is used, the multi- plication in the numerators is
often simpler and there is usually less simplication required after
the addition or subtraction is performed. 72. When there are three
or more dierent binomial denomi- nators, as in Exercise 65, Method
2 is usually preferable. Otherwise, some might prefer Method 1
while others will prefer Method 2. 73. (x + h)2 x2 h = x2 + 2xh +

The exponent is positive, so the number is greater than 10. We move
the decimal point 6 places to the right. 3.261 106 = 3, 261, 000

move the decimal point 4 places to the left. 4.1 104 = 0.00041 19.
Position the decimal point 2 places to the right, between the 1 and
the 4. Since 0.01432 is a number between 0 and 1, the exponent must
be negative. 0.01432 = 1.432 102 20. Position the decimal point 4

probably not following the rules for order of op- erations. She is
subtracting 6 from 15 rst, then dividing the dierence by 3, and

When the number 4 is raised to a positive integer power, the last
digit of the result is 4 or 6. Since the calculator returns
4.398046511 1012 , or 4,398,046,511,000, we can conclude that this
result is an approximation. 68. Substitute $98, 000 $16, 000, or

1.1 1. To graph (4, 0) we move from the origin 4 units to the right
of the y-axis. Since the second coordinate is 0, we do not move up
or down from the x-axis. To graph (3, 5) we move from the origin 3
units to the left of the y-axis. Then we move 5 units down from the
x-axis. To graph (1, 4) we move from the origin 1 unit to the left
of the y-axis. Then we move 4 units up from the x-axis. To graph
(0, 2) we do not move to the right or the left of the y-axis since
the rst coordinate is 0. From the origin we move 2 units up. To
graph (2, 2) we move from the origin 2 units to the right of the
y-axis. Then we move 2 units down from the x-axis. 2. 3. To graph
(5, 1) we move from the origin 5 units to the left of the y-axis.
Then we move 1 unit up from the x-axis. To graph (5, 1) we move
from the origin 5 units to the right of the y-axis. Then we move 1
unit up from the x-axis. To graph (2, 3) we move from the origin 2
units to the right of the y-axis. Then we move 3 units up from the
x-axis. To graph (2, 1) we move from the origin 2 units to the
right of the y-axis. Then we move 1 unit down from the x-axis. To
graph (0, 1) we do not move to the right or the left of the y-axis
since the rst coordinate is 0. From the origin we move 1 unit up.

5 = 3 is false, so 1 2 , 4 5 is not a solu- tion. To determine
whether 0, 3 5 is a solution, substitute 0 for a and 3 5 for b. 2a
+ 5b = 3 2 0 + 5 3 5 ? 3 0 + 3 3 3 TRUE The equation 3 = 3 is true,
