Question

Create a multiplication problem which answer is 8 x 10^13. Must be in scientific notation.

I don't get how to do this problem can you help me figure it out?

Answer 1

pick two numbers whose product is 8
pick two exponents whose sum is 13

now use those to multiply, just as in other exercises which you have surely been given.

Answer 2

Okay thank you so much. I appreciate it!

Answer 3

So like 4 x 2 for 8. And 10 + 3 for 13?

Answer 4

No 4^2 and 10+3 so

4^2 (10+3) = 8 x 10^13

Answer 5

exactly right.
But that's 4*2 x 10^(10+3) = 8 x 10^13

Answer 6

4^2 (10+3=13)

4^2 + 10^13

I am confused.

Answer 7

Oh woops yeah thats right i just need to change the exponent to multiplication.

Answer 8

Thanks can you delete this now.
