Question

Find the sum of the numbers. Express your answer in scientific notation.

(2.04 x 10"")+(6.45 x 10')
A. 6.654 x 1010
B. 8.49 x 1010
C. 6.654 x 10
D. 8.49 x 1011

Answer 1

To find the sum of the numbers in scientific notation, add the coefficients and keep the same base and exponent. The correct answer is 8.49 x 10^10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sum of the numbers in scientific notation, we need to add the coefficients and keep the same base and exponent. Therefore, (2.04 x 10^6) + (6.45 x 10^10) would be:

(2.04 + 6.45) x 10^10 = 8.49 x 10^10

So the correct answer is B. 8.49 x 10^10.
