Answer:
b. 4.9 × 1011
Explanation:
Using scientific notation is similar to expressing in standard form. Given that (7 × 105)2
We open the parenthesis. This may first be expressed as
7² × 10⁽⁵⁾²
Then expand,
= 49 × 10¹⁰
To put in scientific notation, 49 = 4.9 × 10
Hence the expression becomes
= 4.9 × 10 × 10¹⁰
Using the laws of indices
= 4.9 × 10¹¹ in scientific notation
