Question

(5 points)
Step 1:
to get the exponents the same for adding in Scientific Notation.

Step 2:
to change the coefficient on the term that the exponent was changed.

Step 3:
the coefficients.

Step 4:
the exponents to simplify.

Step 5:
is the final answer in Scientific Notation.

Answer 1

Step 1: Adjust the first number to have the same exponent as the second number in Scientific Notation.

Step 2: Multiply 3.71 by 10^2 to get 3.71 x 10^7.

Step 3: Add the coefficients: (3.71 x 10^7) + (4.65 x 10^7).

Step 4: Keep the exponent the same when adding: 10^7.

Step 5: The final answer in Scientific Notation is 8.36 x 10^7.
