Can anyone explain how to solve this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the sum of (3.4 × 104) + (2 × 103) in correct scientific notation? A. 3.6 × 104 B. 5.4 × 104 C. 3.6 × 103 D. 5.4 × 103 E. 2.34 × 103

thomaster (thomaster):

\(3.4*10^4\)= 34000 \(2.0*10^3\)= 2000 ------ + 36000

thomaster (thomaster):

so you can cancel option B, D and E

thomaster (thomaster):

rewrite 36000 in scientific form, and you'll have the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.6 x \[10^{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it is four

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry my mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3.6 x 10 ^{4}\]

thomaster (thomaster):
