Are these 2 equations the same? 5.6 x 10^9 and 56 x 10^8 when i did it out they were the same but i need someone elses opinion
yes
You are welcome.
By the way the proper way is 5.6 * 10^9 and
one should simplify 56 * 10^8 to 5.6 *10^9
a number from 1 to 9 should be left of the decimal point for standard notation.
However as we said, they are the same.
5.6 x 10^9 and 56 x 10^8. let's break down the first one; 5.6x10^9=5.6*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10 [that's 10 to the 9th power]
56x10^8=56*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10 [that's 10th to the 8th power]
if we take one of the nine 10's from the first one and multiply it with 5.6, it'll be 56, and then we'll be left with weight 10's. which is the second equation.
Can you please help me asap?
Okay thank you so much.
To determine if the two equations 5.6 x 10^9 and 56 x 10^8 are the same, we need to evaluate them and compare the results.
Let's start with the first equation, 5.6 x 10^9. Here, 10^9 means we multiply 5.6 by 1 followed by nine zeros. So, 5.6 x 10^9 becomes 5,600,000,000.
Now, let's evaluate the second equation, 56 x 10^8. Similarly, 10^8 means we multiply 56 by 1 followed by eight zeros. So, 56 x 10^8 becomes 5,600,000,000 as well.
Since both equations evaluate to the same value of 5,600,000,000, we can conclude that 5.6 x 10^9 and 56 x 10^8 are indeed the same.
In general, when comparing numbers in scientific notation, it is important to focus on the coefficient (the number before the multiplication symbol) and the power of 10 (known as the exponent). If the coefficients are the same and the exponents are different, the numbers are still considered the same when written in scientific notation.
