300m+500m=80000m=8x10^4m
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the answer is 8 times 10² but i want to know why it isn't to the fourth
OpenStudy (turingtest):
oh man i messed up
3x10^2=300
5x10^2=500+
=800=8x10^2m
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ohh so you would not add the two ^2 to make it 4?
OpenStudy (lalaly):
\[\huge{10^2 \times 10^2 = 10^{2+2}}\]\[\huge{10^2+10^2=2 \times 10^2}\]

so in this case
=8 x 10^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[8 \times 10^{-5} + 8 \times 10^{-5}\]
OpenStudy (lalaly):
same thing
add 8+8=16
so 16 x 10^-5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the answer is 1.2 times 10^-4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i don't know how to get it though

OpenStudy (lalaly):
1.6 x 10^-4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no.. 1.2 times 10^-4
OpenStudy (lalaly):
its not 1.2 its 1.6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how do you get 1.6 though

OpenStudy (lalaly):
8+8=16
so 16 x 10^-5 = 1.6x 10^-4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it's 8 +4
OpenStudy (lalaly):
\[8 \times 10^{-5} + 4 \times 10^{-5} ?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sorrry i messed up up there^^

ok since both 10's hav the same exponent u add 8+4=12
so the answer is 12x10^-5 = 1.2x10^-4
OpenStudy (lalaly):
A=10^2*m
so it will be:
3A+5A
(3+5)A
same thing wit the other one

thank you so much.
