Evaluate and write the solution in scientific notation: (Points : 1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

** 9.2 * 10 to the 4th power 2.3 * 10 to the 6 power. Equation has to be combined. ** I just dont get it though :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

92000 and 2300000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do u write that in scientific noation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9.2*10^4 and 2.3*10^6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

** combined** that was one equation not two sorry for not clarifying that. That's the part I dont know how to do is combined them into one answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it depends if you are adding them then you would use 92000+2300000=2392000and since you're adding then you have 4SF then in Scientific Notation it is 2.392*10^6. If you multiply you have 92000*2300000=211600000000 and since you multiply you use the least SF in this case 2SF then your answer is 2.1*10^11

Im looking at my homnework and horribly confused your the third person to give me that answer as I've asked others from my class but that isn't a possible choice from the choices.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O.K. give me the possible choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ate and write the solution in scientific notation: (Points : 1) 4 x 102 4 x 10-2 4 x 1010

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there must be a mistake, are you positive that you're not looking at two different problems? Maybe gave me the wrong problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's the correct problem... Which is why I'm confused everybody including myself is getting completed different answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it from a book or online?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Online
