Question

Simplify this expression and put your answer in Scientific Notation: (3.71 x 10^5) + (4.65×10^7) (4 points) Steps 1 through 5

Answer 1

wrong

Answer 2

Step 1: Add the coefficients: 3.71 + 4.65 = 8.36
Step 2: Add the exponents: 5 + 7 = 12
Step 3: Combine the coefficients and the exponents: 8.36 x 10^12
Step 4: Move the decimal point to get a number between 1 and 10: 8.36 = 8.36
Step 5: Write the final answer in Scientific Notation: 8.36 x 10^12
Therefore, the simplified expression in Scientific Notation is 8.36 x 10^12.

Answer 3

My apologies for the mistake. Let's try again:

Step 1: Add the coefficients: 3.71 + 4.65 = 8.36
Step 2: Check if the coefficients need to be adjusted: 8.36 is between 1 and 10, so no adjustment is needed.
Step 3: Add the exponents: 5 + 7 = 12
Step 4: Write the final answer in Scientific Notation: 8.36 x 10^12

Therefore, the simplified expression in Scientific Notation is 8.36 x 10^12. Thank you for pointing out the error.
