Question

Find the quotient.

(4.86 × 109)
(2.43 × 103)

What is the exponent of the power in the quotient?

What is the coefficient in the quotient?

Which operation produced the exponent of the power in the quotient?

Answer 1

2 × 10^6

Explanation:

To find the quotient of (4.86 × 10^9) divided by (2.43 × 10^3), you can divide the coefficients (4.86 ÷ 2.43) and subtract the exponents (9 - 3):

Quotient of coefficients: 4.86 ÷ 2.43 = 2

Subtraction of exponents: 9 - 3 = 6

So, the quotient is 2 × 10^6.

Now, to answer your specific questions:

1. The exponent of the power in the quotient is 6.

2. he coefficient in the quotient is 2.

3. The operation that produced the exponent of the power in the quotient is subtraction (9 - 3 = 6).
