Please help (3.8*10^4)(2.5*10^4)
First thing you want to do is exponents
\[\Huge\color{#3debf5}{\mathbb{WELCOME\\TO\\OPENSTUDY}}\]
Here is an example: (5.2 * 10^3)(3.2 * 10^3) 5.2 * 3.2 = 16.64 \(10^3 * 10^3 = 10^{3+3} = 10^6\) And so we get: \((5.2 * 10^3)(3.2 * 10^3) = 16.64 \times 10^6 = 1.664 \times 10^7\)
Thank you@AbdullahM
@goldenwolf13 First do 3.8 * 2.5 What is that equal to? Now, what is 10^4 * 10^4 equal to? When multiplying two numbers with the same base, in this case 10, you have to add the exponents!
Can i ask u one more question
Go ahead!
Ok. Whats 8.33*10^3 __________ 5.4*10^5 Simplifyed
This time we have to simply divide 8.33 by 5.4 And then we divide 10^3 by 10^5 When we divide exponents with the same base, we have to subtract the exponents. For example, \(\Large\bf \frac{10^6}{10^9} = 10^{6-9} =10^{-3}\)
Ok thank you @AbdullahM awesome name by the way
It was my pleasure! And thanks for the compliment!
No problem
