In question 1, we have the following expression:


9.63*10^9+4*10^5

The first quantity is equivalent to


9.63*10^9=9630000000^{}

or equivalently


96300*10^5

In this form, we can add it to the second term, that is,


96300*10^5+4*10^5=96304*10^5

Then, the answer can be written as


96304*10^5

This result can also be expressed as


9.6304*10^9
