How do i do this
Divide and write the result using scientific notation
the 8 and -4 is to the second power
8x10(8)
4x10(-4)
plug it into the calculator
(8x10^8)/(4x10^-4) = 2x10^12
whats the scientific notaion of 9.03*10 to the 2nd power?
To divide two numbers and express the result in scientific notation, follow these steps:
Step 1: Perform the division of the numbers.
8 / 4 = 2
Step 2: Determine the exponent for the base of 10.
In this case, the exponents are 8 and -4. Since we are dividing, subtract the second exponent from the first exponent.
8 - (-4) = 8 + 4 = 12
Step 3: Write the result in scientific notation.
The result of the division is 2. To express it in scientific notation, write it as a decimal greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, and multiply it by 10 raised to the power of the exponent determined in Step 2.
2 x 10^12
So, the result of dividing 8 x 10^8 by 4 x 10^-4 is 2 x 10^12.
