Question

Evaluate the following giving your answers in standard form to 2dp

(8.08 * 10 raise to Power 7) *(5.5 * 10 raise to power 5 )​

Answer 1

The answer in standard form is
`44.44 * 10^(12)`

Step-by-step explanation:

The given Statement is

(8.08 * 10 raise to Power 7) *(5.5 * 10 raise to power 5 )​

This can be written as

`(8.08 * 10^7) * (5.5 * 10^5)`

Combining the like terms i.e., the numerical terms and the terms with powers we get

=>
`(8.08 * 5.5 )* (10^7 * 10^5)`

=>
`(44.44 )* (10^(7+5) )` since
`a^m\cdot a^n = a^((m+n))`

=>
`(44.44 )* (10^(12))`

`(8.08 * 10^7) * (5.5 * 10^5)` =
`(44.44 )* (10^(12))`
