what is 245000*3.9000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

sorry this is too long for my calculator to handle

OpenStudy (blank):

The second number can be written as just 3.9. The zeros after 3.9 don't matter. They're both the same number

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

ik in scientific notation

OpenStudy (welshfella):

that huge number starting with 3.9 = 3.9 Those multiple zeroes can be ignored.

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

the zeros arent called for

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

thats what it is 3.9e33 (i know e= euler's method)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

convert the first number to scientific form then the multiplication is pretty easy

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

That e means "times 10 to the power of" on a calculator.

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

i should pretty much mutiply 245000*3.9 and then add 33 zeros to whatever i get

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Or just leave it in scientific notation...

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

this is what the question is asking The sun produces 3.9 ⋅ 10^33 ergs of radiant energy per second. How many ergs of radiant energy does the sun produce in 2.45 ⋅ 10^5 seconds?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Multiply and keep things in sci. notation

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

so 9.55*10^40
