Simplify this expression and put your answer in Scientific Notation:
(5 x 10^6) x (2 x 10^-2)
5 answers
1 x 10^5
what did you do with the coefficients
I multiplied the coefficients together: 5 x 2 = 10. Then I added the exponents together: 6 + (-2) = 4. Therefore, the simplified expression in scientific notation is 1 x 10^4.
did you change the exponent for Scientific Notation
Apologies for the mistake in my previous responses. Let's correct it:
(5 x 10^6) x (2 x 10^-2)
First, we multiply the coefficients: 5 x 2 = 10
Then, we add the exponents: 6 + (-2) = 4
Therefore, the simplified expression in scientific notation is:
10 x 10^4 = 1 x 10^5
(5 x 10^6) x (2 x 10^-2)
First, we multiply the coefficients: 5 x 2 = 10
Then, we add the exponents: 6 + (-2) = 4
Therefore, the simplified expression in scientific notation is:
10 x 10^4 = 1 x 10^5
