yes
OpenStudy (misty1212):
first lets multiply the numbers out front
\[4.5\times6 = ?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
27
OpenStudy (misty1212):
right
notice that it is larger than 10, so we will have to adjust something
put that aside for a second and add the exponents \[-8+(-4)=?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It is D

-12
OpenStudy (misty1212):
right
OpenStudy (misty1212):
so one answer (not the final one) is \[27\times 10^{-12}\]
OpenStudy (misty1212):
you can't use \(27\) because it is larger than 10 so you have to use \(2.7\)
that means you have to change the exponent as well
OpenStudy (misty1212):
when you go from \(27\) to \(2.7\) you are dividing by 10
to compensate you have to add 1 to the exponent
what i s\(-12+1\)?
