Evaluate the following. Write your answer in scientific notation. (3 x 107)(6.1 x 103) A. 18.3 x 1010 B. 18.3 x 1021 C. 1.83 x 1010 D. 1.83 x 1011
why you can't use wolfram youself?
A. 18.3 x 1010 = 18483 = 1.8483 x 10^4
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%283+*+10%5E7%29%286.1+*+10%5E3%29+scientific+notation
cause it doesnt give the answer :/
thx Harkirat
look it does, you just need to write ^ for power
harkirat answer is wrong
Why Tomas????
where it says reslt its none of my answer choices
*result
how much r u writing?
B. 18.3 x 1021 = 18684.3 = 1.86843 x 10^4
because in scientific notation \[a⋅10^n\] a should be \[0≤a<10\]
it's not B either
lisa look answer is here http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%283+*+10%5E7%29%286.1+*+10%5E3%29+scientific+notation
Tomas pls check on what scientific notation is........
Lisa, are A, B, C, D questions themselves or are they options for answers?????
In normalized scientific notation, the exponent b is chosen such that the absolute value of a remains at least one but less than ten (1 ≤ |a| < 10). Following these rules, 350 is always written as 3.5×102.
also wolframalpha gives same answer, so wolframalpha and wikipedia both are incorrect?
there the answer choices one of them is right
tomas how did u get the right one the second time?
\[3*6.1=18.3\] \[10^7*10^3=10^{10}\] \[18.3*10^{10}=1.83*10^{11}\]
ok
thx
