Putting Numbers into Perspective. A large number can be put into perspective by comparing it with another number. For example, we put the \(\$ 15.2\) trillion national debt (Example 12 ) and the \(\$ 2.17\) trillion the government collected in taxes (Exercise 115 ) by comparing these numbers to the number of U.S. citizens. For this project, each group member should consult an almanac, a newspaper, or the Internet to find a number greater than one million. Explain to other members of the group the context in which the large number is used. Express the number in scientific notation. Then put the number into perspective by comparing it with another number.
Exercises \(142-144\) will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. Simplify and express the answer in descending powers of \(x\) : $$2 x\left(x^{2}+4 x+5\right)+3\left(x^{2}+4 x+5\right)$$
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. $$ x^{3}-64-(x+4)\left(x^{2}+4 x-16\right) $$
Factor completely. $$ -x^{2}-4 x+5 $$
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. $$ x^{2}+36-(x+6)^{2} $$
