evaluate the following and write the answer in scientific notation (6x10^-5:(5x10^-8)
6*10^5(5*10^-8) = 30*10^-3 = 3*10^-2.
To evaluate the given expression and write the answer in scientific notation, we need to perform division and then express the result using scientific notation.
The expression is:
6x10^-5 / (5x10^-8)
To divide these two terms, we divide their coefficients and subtract the exponents of 10:
6 / 5 = 1.2
The exponent of 10 can be obtained by subtracting the exponent of the second term from the exponent of the first term:
-5 - (-8) = -5 + 8 = 3
The answer is 1.2x10^3 in scientific notation.
