Question

Need to put into scientific notation:
7.0 * 10 negpower4 + 6.2 * 10power2.

Answer 1

if the answer is 620.0007, then how is that written in sn?

Answer 2

6.200007 * 10^2

Answer 3

So is that your final answer?

Answer 4

yes, Regis :)

Answer 5

thxs;)

Answer 6

I don't understand, please explain me, @Euler271

Answer 7

hmmm

Answer 8

@satellite73 hmmmm???

Answer 9

scientific notation or the Regis Philbin joke?

Answer 10

\[7\times 10^{-4}\times 6.2\times 10^2\]?

Answer 11

@Euler271 surely the problem.

Answer 12

its just another way of writing it.

6.2 * 10^2 = 6.2 * 100 = 620

Answer 13

\[7\times 6.2=43.4\] and \[10^{-4}\times 10^2=10^{-2}\] so i get
\[43.4\times 10^{-2}=.434\]

Answer 14

@satellite73 It's not multiplication, it's addition

Answer 15

and any number can be written this way. number.evertyhingelse * 10^exponent

Answer 16

ooh addition doh
then i guess you have to add

Answer 17

true

Answer 18

\[7.0^10^{-4} = 0.0007\\6.2*10^2= 620\\620+ 0.0007= 620.0007 \]why we have *10^2 after them?

Answer 19

it was 6.20007 * 10^2

it's just another way of writing it.

onenumber.restofnumbers * 10^exp

Answer 20

don't we have to put it in scientific notation and don't we have to follow significant figures?

Answer 21

the equation is 7.0 x 10^-4 + 6.2 x 10^2

Answer 22

does'nt specify to keep proper sig figs. if that's the case then we'd ignore then 7*10^-4 part

Answer 23

yes, specifically I need to know how to solve as sn

Answer 24

so, your final answer still stands, Meredith?
dith?

Answer 25

I want to put this to rest, so is 6.20007 x 10^2 correct?
