101.55>|1.55x|

abs(1.55x) < 101.55

Now I find it easiest to think of these by drawing a number line and shading in where 1.55x must be.
Since I can't show you the diagram I will try to explain.
What it is really saying is that the distance from 1.55x is less than 101.55 from 0. (pos or neg direction)
so
1.55x must be between -101.55 and +101.55
so
-101.55 < 1.55x < 101.55
divide everything by 1.55
-65.516 < x < 65.516 this is correct to 3 decimal places.

There is not that many choices and you have a calculator (there is one on this site) so why don't you use trial and error until you work it out?

The circumference of the Sun is 4239000 Kilometers using 675,000 Kilometers as its radius.

It would be good if you learned how to spell circumference . lol

Is .99999 repeater 1 or .9999 repeater?

It is 0.9repeater.
It is not 1, it is less than 1 but this is something that I have pondered over

You can show by division that 1/3 = 0.3 repeater
double both sides and you get 2/3 = 0.6 repeater
triple both sides and you get 3/3 = 0.9repeater

3/3 = 1 0.9 repeater is less than 1

Like I said, i have pondered this question myself.

I have placed this question along with my reponse in another forum which is filled with serious mathematicians.
I will see if any of them respond.

whats 1.08 times 10 to the negative third power

Firstly, this is not a scientific notation question.

10 to the negative third power = 1/10 to the positive third power (which is the same as 1/cube root of 10 )

1.08 * 1/cube root of 10 = 1.08 / 10^(1/3) = approx 0.50129

Yes,
Matrices can be very useful.
I don't usually solve little equations that way.
But they are extremely useful when you have several equations with several unknowns.
