Simplify the expression. Write the answer using scientific notation. 8(8.8 x 10^12) A. 70.4 x 10^12 B. 70.4 x 10^24 C. 70.4 x 10^13 D. 1.68 x 10^13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we dont have any option with 7.04 X10^13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

trix how can the answer be D

Directrix (directrix):

I'm mixed up. Isn't this problem here and now the same problem there and then? http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/516a7247e4b0c5c0722e7075

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep but i accidently closed the last thread

Directrix (directrix):

I see what you mean about the options. Look at your problem source. Maybe something messed up in copying and pasting the options or whatever.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i rechecked manytimes

Directrix (directrix):

Okay, then whoever printed this problem in the book or wherever must have erred. C. 70.4 x 10^13 was probably meant to be 7.04 * 10^13.

Directrix (directrix):

A. 70.4 x 10^12 This is a correct product but is not in scientific notation.

Directrix (directrix):

You'll need to ask the teacher about that one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i got this answer wrong

Directrix (directrix):

Every option listed is wrong. Talk to that teacher and get your credit back.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

Directrix (directrix):

What did you put for the answer that was marked wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

Directrix (directrix):

I think that the automatic marking machine was programmed to "think" that this is the correct answer: C. 70.4 x 10^13 But, it is not in scientific notation.

Directrix (directrix):

You and the teacher will have to talk about that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

Directrix (directrix):

Alrighty, then.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with its part A

Directrix (directrix):

I saw this one night before last and it made no sense. However, I will look at it again. I remember thinking that whatever Thompson wrote made sense.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

iam confused about it

Directrix (directrix):

|dw:1365932869624:dw| I'm confused but I can help you simplify.
