Write this in scientific notation.
(1.4*10^1)(8*10^4)
a)9.4*10^4*****
b)9.4*10^5
c)1.12*10^5
d)1.12*10^6
Please cheek my answer i am not sure if I am right or wrong.
(1.4*10^1)(8*10^4)
= 11.2 * 10^5
= 1.12 * 10^6
To write the expression (1.4*10^1)(8*10^4) in scientific notation, we can multiply the numerical coefficients (1.4 and 8) and add the exponents (10^1 and 10^4).
Multiplying the numerical coefficients gives us 1.4 * 8 = 11.2.
Adding the exponents gives us 10^1 + 10^4 = 10^5.
Therefore, the expression can be written in scientific notation as 11.2 * 10^5.
So, the correct answer is b) 9.4 * 10^5, as none of the given options match the correct scientific notation.
To write the expression (1.4*10^1)(8*10^4) in scientific notation, you need to multiply the numbers and combine the powers of 10.
First, multiply the numbers:
1.4 * 8 = 11.2
Next, combine the powers of 10:
10^1 * 10^4 = 10^(1+4) = 10^5
So, (1.4*10^1)(8*10^4) is equal to 11.2 * 10^5.
Therefore, the correct option is b) 9.4*10^5, as indicated by the asterisks next to it in your question.
