Cevap

The sentences should be ordered as follows: first, the sentence introducing the carbonized scrolls of Herculaneum; second, the sentence describing early physical attempts to unroll them; third, the sentence introducing multi-spectral imaging; fourth, the sentence explaining how infrared light reveals the script; and finally, the sentence summarizing the preservation and restoration of the texts.

The correct ordering begins with the sentence introducing the carbonized scrolls at Herculaneum, which sets the historical context. It is followed by the sentence describing the centuries of destructive physical attempts to unroll them. The third sentence introduces multi-spectral imaging to overcome 'this barrier' (the destruction). The fourth sentence explains the mechanics of 'this technology' using infrared light. The final sentence, beginning with 'Ultimately,' provides a strong conclusion that summarizes the dual benefits of preservation and restoration.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The paragraphs should be placed in the order: first, the paragraph describing the historical assumption of a flat ocean floor; second, the paragraph introducing Marie Tharp's sonar analysis and creation of topographic profiles; and third, the paragraph explaining the impact of this groundbreaking map on continental drift theory.

The correct sequence begins with the paragraph establishing the historical belief that the seafloor was a featureless plain. The next paragraph transitionally shifts focus using 'however' to describe Marie Tharp's mid-1950s research and her creation of topographic profiles. The final paragraph logically follows by using 'This groundbreaking map' to refer back to Tharp's profiles and explain the map's role in supporting plate tectonics.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the introductory paragraph that establishes the context or baseline belief.

The paragraph starting with 'For centuries' describes the historical view that the ocean floor was a flat, featureless plain.

This establishes the status quo before any discoveries were made.

2

Look for transition words or phrases that signal a shift away from this status quo.

The paragraph starting with 'In the mid-1950s, however' uses the contrast transition 'however' to introduce Marie Tharp's research and the discovery of a mountain range, contradicting the flat seafloor theory.

The word 'however' directly connects to and refutes the idea of a featureless seabed established in the first paragraph.

3

Identify the paragraph that builds upon the details of the discovery.

The paragraph starting with 'This groundbreaking map' references the map created in the previous step ('topographic profiles') and explains its larger scientific implications.

The demonstrative adjective 'This' in 'This groundbreaking map' requires a prior mention of mapmaking, which occurs at the end of the second paragraph.

The correct order of the sentences is: the introduction introducing Polynesian navigators, followed by the creation of stick charts, then the explanation of how they were memorized on land, and finally the concluding sentence summarizing their overall effectiveness.

The correct order establishes a logical progression: first introducing the general topic of instrument-free navigation, then defining the alternative tool used ('stick charts'), next explaining the procedural constraint of memorizing these charts, and finally concluding with a statement on their overall utility and success.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the most general sentence that introduces the main topic without requiring prior context.

The sentence about Polynesian navigators traversing the Pacific without Western instruments is identified as the opening sentence.

An effective introduction must establish the subject matter and tone of the paragraph without relying on preceding sentences for clarity.

2

Look for transition words or referential pronouns that link to the opening sentence.

The sentence mentioning 'these featureless seas' and introducing 'stick charts' is placed second.

The phrase 'these featureless seas' directly references the 'open waters of the Pacific Ocean' from the first sentence, creating a logical transition.

3

Find the sentence that elaborates on the newly introduced concept of 'stick charts'.

The sentence about how the charts were fragile and memorized on land is placed third.

The term 'these fragile wooden diagrams' connects back to the physical description of 'stick charts' in the second sentence.

4

Determine which sentence provides a summarizing or concluding thought for the paragraph.

The sentence starting with 'By translating the dynamic currents...' is placed last.

This sentence sums up the function and success of the navigational aids, resolving the paragraph's main theme.

Cevap

The paragraphs should be ordered: first the paragraph describing the discovery of graphite in 1564, followed by the paragraph addressing the practical challenges of raw graphite and the introduction of wooden casings, and finally the paragraph discussing the limitations of early casings and the 1795 clay-mixture solution.

The correct order follows a logical chronological and thematic progression. The paragraph detailing the 1564 discovery of graphite establishes the context. The paragraph beginning with 'Despite its usefulness, this raw graphite...' transitions by explaining the drawbacks of the raw mineral and introduces wooden casings. The paragraph beginning with 'These early wooden casings...' uses a clear transitional phrase to link back to the casings and explains the final refinement in 1795.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the introductory paragraph by searching for independent context that does not rely on prior information.

The paragraph describing the 1564 discovery of solid graphite in Borrowdale, England contains no transitional pronouns or references, establishing it as the starting point.

An essay must introduce the subject and historical origin before detailing later refinements or problems.

2

Link the next paragraph by matching the physical drawbacks of the newly discovered material to its initial use.

The paragraph starting with 'Despite its usefulness, this raw graphite...' connects directly to the raw mineral's use in marking sheep and introduces the wooden casing solution.

The transition 'Despite its usefulness' bridges the discovery of the material with its practical handling challenges.

3

Place the concluding paragraph by identifying the transition that references the casing solution.

The paragraph starting with 'These early wooden casings...' follows the introduction of the wooden sleeves and concludes with the 1795 kiln-firing innovation.

The demonstrative phrase 'These early wooden casings' requires the previous paragraph to have already introduced the wooden sleeves.

16

for the expression containing the squared term. Ordering these values from least to greatest results in the sequence

-25 < -8 < -4 < 16

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Evaluate the first expression:

2 \times (-3)^2 - 4^2 \div 8

.

Value is

16

.

Exponents are calculated first:

(-3)^2 = 9

and

4^2 = 16

. Then, perform multiplication and division:

2 \times 9 = 18

and

16 \div 8 = 2

. Finally, subtract:

18 - 2 = 16

.

2

Evaluate the second expression:

-2^4 + 3 \times (5 - 8)

.

Value is

-25

.

Parentheses are evaluated first:

5 - 8 = -3

. Next, evaluate the exponent:

-2^4 = -16

(since the exponent applies to the base

2

before negation). Perform multiplication:

3 \times (-3) = -9

. Finally, add:

-16 + (-9) = -25

.

3

Evaluate the third expression:

(3 - 5)^3 \div 4 - 2

.

Value is

-4

.

Parentheses are evaluated first:

3 - 5 = -2

. Next, cube the result:

(-2)^3 = -8

. Perform division:

-8 \div 4 = -2

. Finally, subtract:

-2 - 2 = -4

.

4

Evaluate the fourth expression:

-| -6 - 2^2 \times 3 | + 10

.

Value is

-8

.

Within the absolute value bars, evaluate the exponent first:

2^2 = 4

, then multiply:

4 \times 3 = 12

. Subtract to find the absolute value interior:

-6 - 12 = -18

. The absolute value of

-18

is

18

, which is negated to

-18

. Finally, add

10

to get

-18 + 10 = -8

.

5

Order the final values from least to greatest.

-25 < -8 < -4 < 16

.

Comparing the values

-25

,

-8

,

-4

, and

16

on the number line determines their relative size.

What is the correct order of the following numbers from least to greatest?

Cevap

The correct order from least to greatest is:

6.8 \times 10^{-5}

,

7.1 \times 10^{-4}

,

1.5 \times 10^{-3}

, and

2.4 \times 10^{-3}

.

The correct order is determined by first arranging the values by their power of 10 exponent from least to greatest:

-5 < -4 < -3

. This places

6.8 \times 10^{-5}

as the smallest and

7.1 \times 10^{-4}

as the second smallest. For the remaining two values that share the exponent

-3

, we compare their coefficients:

1.5 < 2.4

, placing

1.5 \times 10^{-3}

before

2.4 \times 10^{-3}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Compare the exponents of the base 10 to establish the primary order of magnitude.

The exponents are

-5

,

-4

, and

-3

. Since

-5 < -4 < -3

, we know that any number with an exponent of

-5

is smaller than one with

-4

, which in turn is smaller than one with

-3

.

In scientific notation, a smaller exponent on the power of 10 indicates a smaller overall value because it represents shifting the decimal point further to the left.

2

Place the numbers with unique exponents in order.

The smallest number is

6.8 \times 10^{-5}

, followed by

7.1 \times 10^{-4}

.

These have the smallest exponents (

-5

and

-4

, respectively).

3

Compare the coefficients of the remaining numbers that share the same exponent.

Both

1.5 \times 10^{-3}

and

2.4 \times 10^{-3}

share the exponent

-3

. Comparing their coefficients,

1.5 < 2.4

, so

1.5 \times 10^{-3} < 2.4 \times 10^{-3}

.

When the powers of 10 are identical, the values can be compared directly by their coefficients.

The following sentences are from a paragraph about the use of falconry at airports. Arrange the sentences in the most logical order to create a cohesive paragraph that begins with a clear introduction of the problem and ends with a strong concluding thought.

Öğeleri doğru sıraya koymak için sürükleyin

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The correct sequence begins with the introduction of the bird strike threat, followed by the introduction of falconry as a solution, then the details of how the raptors deter flocking birds, and ends with the concluding summary sentence.

The correct order establishes a logical progression: first, the paragraph defines the problem of bird strikes; second, it introduces falconry as the solution; third, it describes how the raptors operate; and finally, it concludes by reflecting on the effectiveness of this ancient art for a modern problem.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the introductory sentence.

The sentence about bird strikes posing a threat to aircraft at busy airports is identified as the opener because it introduces the primary topic without relying on external pronouns or transitional hooks.

An effective introduction must establish the subject and context independently.

2

Determine the logical next sentence by looking for transitional links.

The sentence introducing falconry is placed second because it starts with 'To combat this hazard,' which directly refers back to the threat of bird strikes.

Cohesion is maintained by connecting the solution directly to the defined hazard.

3

Find the detail sentence that follows the solution introduction.

The sentence detailing how the raptors deter flocking birds is placed third because it uses the pointer 'These raptors' to refer back to the 'trained birds of prey'.

Pronoun antecedents must be established in preceding sentences to avoid ambiguity.

4

Identify the concluding sentence.

The sentence starting with 'Ultimately' is placed last because it summarizes the overall paragraph and provides a cohesive conclusion.

Concluding sentences resolve the discussion by connecting the specific solution back to the broader challenge.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Simplify the expression

-3 - (4 - 2)

.

-3 - (4 - 2) = -3 - 2 = -5

Perform the operation inside the parentheses first, then subtract the result from the leading term.

2

Simplify the expression

-3^2 + 4 \times 2

.

-3^2 + 4 \times 2 = -9 + 8 = -1

Evaluate the exponent first, noting that the negative sign is outside the base (

The correct order from least to greatest is

4 \times 10^{-2}

,

2^{-3}

,

\sqrt{0.09}

, and

\frac{3^2}{2 \times 10^1}

By converting each value to a decimal, we find

4 \times 10^{-2} = 0.04

,

2^{-3} = 0.125

,

\sqrt{0.09} = 0.3

, and

\frac{3^2}{2 \times 10^1} = 0.45

. Ordering these decimals from smallest to largest yields the correct sequence.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the scientific notation expression

4 \times 10^{-2}

to its decimal form.

4 \times 10^{-2} = 0.04

Multiplying by

10^{-2}

is equivalent to moving the decimal point of the coefficient

4

two places to the left.

2

Convert the negative exponent expression

2^{-3}

to a fraction and then to a decimal.

2^{-3} = \frac{1}{2^3} = \frac{1}{8} = 0.125

A negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive power.

3

Evaluate the square root of the decimal

\sqrt{0.09}

.

\sqrt{0.09} = 0.3

The square root of a decimal less than

1

results in a larger decimal value because

0.3 \times 0.3 = 0.09

.

4

Evaluate the exponential fraction expression

\frac{3^2}{2 \times 10^1}

.

\frac{3^2}{2 \times 10^1} = \frac{9}{20} = 0.45

Simplify the numerator to

9

and the denominator to

20

, then divide to find the decimal equivalent.

5

Compare the evaluated decimal values to determine the correct order from least to greatest.

0.04 < 0.125 < 0.3 < 0.45

, which correspond to

4 \times 10^{-2} < 2^{-3} < \sqrt{0.09} < \frac{3^2}{2 \times 10^1}

.

Comparing decimal place values shows that

0.04

is the smallest and

0.45

is the largest.
