Question 8

Analyze Nick’s solution. Is he correct? If not, what was his mistake?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

No, the power multiplied to 8.64 should have an exponent of 0.

Question 9

How can Buster tell without fully performing the calculations?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

Buster can tell the answer is less than 1, because he can subtract the exponents to see that the solution will have an exponent of –5.
