Question

Simplify. Write the answer in scientific notation.

3. 8(32 x 10^11)

Answer 1

could probably re-write this as

\[(8*10^{0})*(3.2*10^{12})\]

then multiply 8 by 3.2 and add the exponents.

Answer 2

But what you put isn't even the question

Answer 3

when we multiply like bases we add the exponents so

\[25.6*10^{12}\]

but remember in scientific notation the number must be less than 10 so what would it be?

Answer 4

I think that scientific notation means this:
\[2.56 \times {10^{13}}\]

Answer 5

you would change it by moving a decimal place one over

which you would end up getting

\[2.56*10^{13}\]
