Do questions 27 through 30

Solution

Let's work through questions 27 through 30 step by step.


27. Simplify (2×106)(1.9×101)(2 \times 10^6)(1.9 \times 10^1):

Multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

(2×1.9)×106+1=3.8×107(2 \times 1.9) \times 10^{6+1} = 3.8 \times 10^7

Answer: 3.8×1073.8 \times 10^7


28. Simplify (2×102)(7.4×106)(2 \times 10^2)(7.4 \times 10^6):

Multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

(2×7.4)×102+6=14.8×108(2 \times 7.4) \times 10^{2+6} = 14.8 \times 10^8

Now rewrite 14.814.8 as 1.48×1011.48 \times 10^1, and adjust the exponent:

1.48×1091.48 \times 10^9

Answer: 1.48×1091.48 \times 10^9


29. Simplify 4.6×1041.3×102\frac{4.6 \times 10^4}{1.3 \times 10^{-2}}:

Divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

4.61.3×104(2)=3.54×104+2=3.54×106\frac{4.6}{1.3} \times 10^{4 - (-2)} = 3.54 \times 10^{4+2} = 3.54 \times 10^6

Answer: 3.54×1063.54 \times 10^6


30. Simplify 3.52×1026.56×104\frac{3.52 \times 10^2}{6.56 \times 10^{-4}}:

Divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

3.526.56×102(4)=0.536×102+4=0.536×106\frac{3.52}{6.56} \times 10^{2 - (-4)} = 0.536 \times 10^{2+4} = 0.536 \times 10^6

Now rewrite 0.5360.536 as 5.36×1015.36 \times 10^{-1}, and adjust the exponent:

5.36×1055.36 \times 10^5

Answer: 5.36×1055.36 \times 10^5
