Question

Perform the following operationand express the answer inscientific notation.7.15x103 x 6.10x10-5[ ? ]x10! ?)Coefficient (green)Exponent (yellow)-1Enter

Answer 1

Explanations:

Given the operation below:

`(7.15*10^3)*(6.10*10^(-5))`

Grouping the operation into standard and exponential values will give:

`\begin{gathered} (7.15*6.10)*(10^3*`0^(-5)) \\ \end{gathered}`

Simplify the result

`\begin{gathered} (43.615)*(10^(3+(-5))) \\ (43.615)*10^(-2) \end{gathered}`

Write the resulting product in standard form:

`\begin{gathered} =4.3615*10^1*10^(-2) \\ =4.3615*10^(1-2) \\ =4.3615*10^(-1) \end{gathered}`

Hence the coefficient (green) is 4.3615 and the exponent (yellow) is -1.
