To add these two numbers in scientific notation form, we need to ensure that the exponents are the same. Let's make both exponents equal to 8.
2 * 10^8 can be written as 20 * 10^7 (increasing the exponent by 1)
7 * 10^6 can be written as 0.7 * 10^7 (decreasing the exponent by 1)
Now, we can add them together:
20 * 10^7 + 0.7 * 10^7 = 20.7 * 10^7
Therefore, the sum of (2*10^8) + (7*10^6) is 20.7 * 10^7.
Use addition to find the sum the two following scientific notations. Your answer should be written in scientific notation form.
(2*10^8)+(7*10^6)
