Answer:

B

Explanation:

3 x 10 ^17

Which is B

edit: So when doing scientific notation, you just divide the important first number of 9.3 or whatever by 3.1 like normal.

Then, when doing exponents, heres a rule of thumb.

When adding exponents, the base must be the same.

9.3 ^ 100 + 9.3 ^ 3 = 9.3 ^103

9.3 ^ 29 + 4.4 ^ 54 = cannot be solved

When subtracting exponents, the same rule applies as adding, the bases must be the same, otherwise, you just subtract or add like normal.

When dividing exponents, you just subtract exponents. The bases must be the same though of course.

3 ^ 30

----------

3 ^ 20

==== 3 ^ 10

When multiplying exponents, you add exponents like normal. Bases are the same ect.

4 ^ 49 x 4 ^ 2 = 4 ^ 51

When doing scientific notation, the same rule applies.

The 10 is the base, so in your case, you divide the 9.3 and 3.1 like normal to get 3.

The exponent by the 10 is subtracted to get 17 since 34 - 17 = 17.
