(4*10^3)(2*10^6)

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

(4*2) (10^(6+3)) 8 * 10^9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see, it's that easy?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

easy as cake.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol...ok what about(3.5*10^3)(5.1*10^-5)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 17.85*10^-15?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or u can do like \[(40)^{3}(20)^{6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but I'm supposed to answer in scientific notation...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure it will be 409,600,000,000 and in SF it will look like 4.096x10^12

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[3.5\times10^3\times5.1\times10^{-5}=17.85\times 10^{-2}=1.785 \times 10^{-1}\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

And do not pay any attention to sna. 4X10^3 IS NOT the same as 40^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you. how do you divide scientific notation? for example: 2.1*10^6 / 1.5*10^-3

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[4\times10^3=4000 while (40)^3=64000\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Divide the numbers and subtract the exponents.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 1.4*10^3?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

2.1/1.5=1.4 6-(-3)=9 So the result is 1.4 x 10^9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I see where I went wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would 1.0*10^4 / 2.0*10^6 = .5*10^-2?
