Use the product rule of exponents to simply 3,5times 3,7

Answers

Answered by GPT 3.5
To simplify the expression 3.5 times 3.7 using the product rule of exponents, we need to add the exponents since the bases are the same.

The expression can be rewritten as:
3.5 × 3.7 = (3 × 10^0 + 0.5) × (3 × 10^0 + 0.7)

Using the product rule of exponents, we can get:
= (3 × 10^0) × (3 × 10^0) + (3 × 10^0) × 0.7 + (3 × 10^0) × 0.5 + 0.7 × 0.5
= 3^2 × 10^(0 + 0) + 3 × 10^0 × 0.7 + 3 × 10^0 × 0.5 + 0.35
= 9 × 10^0 + 2.1 × 10^0 + 1.5 × 10^0 + 0.35
= 9 + 2.1 + 1.5 + 0.35
= 13.95

Therefore, 3.5 times 3.7 is equal to 13.95.
