Question

Find the simplified form of the expression. Give your answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.8 x $10^{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is [3x10^6][6x10^8} ]

Step 1: Multiply the coefficients 3 and 6, we get 18.

Step 2: If we have the same base, we add the powers.

So 10^6 *10^8 = 10^(6 + 8) = $10^{12}$

Step 3: Now combine 18 and $10^{12}$

= 18 x $10^{12}$

The coefficient must be less than 10, in 18, we have one 10, we can move that to the exponent and 18 = 1.8 *10

Step 4: When we simplify, we get 1.8 x $10^{13}$

Hope you will understand the steps.

Thank you.
