6.5*4 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1785?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

how?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

6.5 times 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh. 26.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

right, \(\large 10^{-7}\times 10^{-4} = ?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um...hm..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the bases are equal, so simply add the exponents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 to the power of -11

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Correct. \(\large 10^{-7}\times 10^{-4} = 10^{-7+-4}=10^{-11}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

therefore the given expression equals \(\large 26\times 10^{-11} = 2.6\times 10^{-10}\)
