Question

Simplify the expression write the expression in scientific notation (5 times 10^7) (6 times 10^4)

Answer 1

You can multiply the coefficients and powers separately:

`(5 * 10^7) * (6 * 10^4) = (5 * 6) * (10^7 * 10^4)`

Solve the first set of parentheses:

`5 * 6 = 30`

Solve the second set of parentheses:

`10^7 * 10^4 = 10^(7+4) = 10^(11)`

Now the expression can be written as follows:

`30 * 10^(11)`

You can divide 30 by 10, so you can add one to the power for 10^11 and get your answer:

`30 * 10^(11) = \boxed{3 * 10^(12)}`

Answer 2

5 times 10^7= 50000000

6 times 10^4= 60000

(50000000)(60000)

Answer
3000000000000
