Question

Which calculator correctly shows the quotient of 6.47x10^-15/3.36x10^-29

a. 1.92559524e+14
b. 1.92559524e-14

Answer 1

1.92559524e+14

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\boxed{1.92559524e+14}`

Explanation:

Scientific notation is a special way we choose for writing numbers. So the numers
`6.47* 10^(-15) \ and \ 3.36* 10^(-29)` are written in scientific notation. In this way, we have a quotient of two numbers written in scientific notation. To solve this problem, we have:

`(6.47)/(3.36)* 10^([-15-(-29)])=1.92559524* 10^((-15+29)) \\ \\ \therefore 1.92559524* 10^(14) \ or \ \boxed{1.92559524e+14}`

The division has been performed using the rules for operation with exponentiation.
