The properties of exponents would help solve exponential equations by creating an expression that can be simplified easily. It elps in simplfying a certain equation. It tells us how are terms that contain exponents can be added, subtracted, divided and multiplied. For addition, terms having the same can only be added. This would be also true for subtraction. For example, we have x^2 + y^3, these terms could not be added since they have different base. For multiplication, we can readily multiply these terms and add the exponents of the terms with the same base, x^2(y^2)(x) = x^3y^2. For division, they can also be divided readily but, terms with the same base, the exponents are to be subtracted, x^3 / x^2 = x.

Jerry multiplied 3.04 x 7.091 and got the product 2.155664. Is his answer reasonable? Why or why not?

Readme [11.4K]

First we multiply the numbers ignoring the decimal and then place the decimal in the position

3.04 *7.091 = 2155664

Now the first number has two digits after the decimal and the second number has three digits after the decimal.

Therefore in the final result we have to move the decimal (2+3) =5 place from the left,

So the answer would be 21.55664

So, the correct answer is 21.55664

Jerry calculated the answer correctly , but made an error in the placement of the decimal point. The answer is not reasonable because 2.155664 and 21.55664 mean two completely different answer far apart from each other
