Answer:
Option 2, assuming that it is .
Step-by-step explanation:
s * s * s * s * s
S gets multiplied by itself 5 times. We can rewrite this expression as one with an exponent. Since 's' is getting multiplied 5 times, the exponent would be 5.
The first option would multiply the value of 's' times 5, which is not the same thing as the expression shown.
5s = 5 * s
Option 2 should be the correct answer.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
30500 = 3.05·10^4
Step-by-step explanation:
Your calculator can do this for you. You may need to set the display to scientific notation, if that's the form of the answer you want.
__
This can be computed by converting both numbers to standard form:
(5·10^2) +(3·10^4)
= 500 +30000 = 30500 = 3.05·10^4
__
Addition of numbers in scientific notation in general requires that they have the same power of 10. It may be convenient to convert both numbers to the highest power of 10.
5·10^2 + 3·10^4
= 0.05·10^4 +3·10^4 . . . . now both have multipliers of 10^4
= (0.05 +3)·10^4
= 3.05·10^4
