Answer 14

Scientific notation is of the form

N * 10^n

Wher N is a number from 1 to 10 ( not including 10) and n is an integer ( except 0)

Answer 15

step 1 multiply 3 by 4
step 2 multiply 10^3 by 10^4 (using laws of exponents)

Answer 16

can you do that?

Answer 17

i don't think i can do step 2

Answer 18

10^3 * 10^4 = 10^(3+4) = 10^7

when you multiply you ADD the exponents.

Answer 19

Oh, That makes sense. ok.....

Answer 20

so we have

12 * 10^7

but athat's not correct scientific notation beacuse 12 is not between 1 and 10

Answer 21

Yeah..

Answer 22

do convert to the correct form we divide the first part by 10 and multiply the exponent part by 10

Answer 23

by first part you mean 12 right?
