Answer 1

To add the two numbers in scientific notation \(3.5 \times 10^5\) and \(5.7 \times 10^5\), you can first combine the coefficients since they have the same power of 10.

Here's the calculation:

\[
3.5 + 5.7 = 9.2
\]

Now, since both terms are multiplied by the same power of ten (\(10^5\)), you can keep the power of ten the same:

\[
9.2 \times 10^5
\]

Thus, the final answer in scientific notation is:

\[
9.2 \times 10^5
\]
