you sure? please check your answers
Apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's re-evaluate the expression.
Step 1: Divide the coefficients
2.7 / 3.2 = 0.84375
Step 2: Divide to simplify the exponents
10^5 / 10^7 = 10^(5-7) = 10^-2
Step 3: Change into Scientific Notation
0.84375 x 10^-2
The simplified answer in Scientific Notation is 8.4375 x 10^-1
do the same for (5×10^6)×(2×10^−2)
Step 1: Multiply the coefficients
5 x 2 = 10
Step 2: Multiply to simplify the exponents
10^6 x 10^-2 = 10^(6-2) = 10^4
Step 3: Change into Scientific Notation
1 x 10^5
The simplified answer in Scientific Notation is 1 x 10^5.
how do i do step three
Apologies for the oversight. Let's reevaluate step three for the expression (5×10^6)×(2×10^−2).
Given expression: (5×10^6)×(2×10^−2)
Step 1: Multiply the coefficients: 5 x 2 = 10
Step 2: Multiply to simplify the exponents: 10^6 x 10^-2 = 10^(6-2) = 10^4
Step 3: Change into Scientific Notation: 1.0 x 10^5
The simplified answer in Scientific Notation is 1.0 x 10^5.
explain step 3
In step 3, we convert the result of the multiplication into Scientific Notation.
Scientific notation consists of a coefficient (a number) multiplied by a power of 10.
For the expression (5×10^6)×(2×10^−2):
Step 1: We performed the multiplication of the coefficients and got 10 as the result.
Step 2: When we multiplied the exponents, we added them together: 6 + (-2) = 4. This represents 10^4.
Step 3: Putting these together, we express the result in Scientific Notation as 10 x 10^4. Since 10 x 10^4 is the same as 1 x 10^5, our final answer is 1.0 x 10^5.
