Question

answer (3.71x10^5)+(4.65x10^7) and provide steps

Answer 1

what a load of rubbish!
(3.71x10^5)+(4.65x10^7)
= 0.0371x10^7 + 4.65x10^7
= 4.6871x10^7

Answer 2

To add (3.71x10^5) and (4.65x10^7), we need to make sure that both numbers have the same exponent.

First, we can convert 3.71x10^5 to scientific notation with an exponent of 7:
3.71x10^5 = 3.71x10^7 x 10^(-2)

Now, we can rewrite the expression as:
(3.71x10^7 x 10^(-2)) + (4.65x10^7)

To add these numbers, we first add the coefficients:
3.71 + 4.65 = 8.36

Then, we add the exponents:
10^7 x 10^(-2) + 10^7 = 10^7+7 = 10^14

Therefore, the sum of (3.71x10^5) and (4.65x10^7) is:
8.36x10^14

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Thank you for pointing it out.

You are correct.
Adding (3.71x10^5) and (4.65x10^7):

(3.71x10^5) + (4.65x10^7)
= 0.0371x10^7 + 4.65x10^7
= 4.6871x10^7

So, the correct sum is 4.6871x10^7. Thank you for pointing out the error.
