Q. Add. Write your answer in scientific notation.\newline(1.53×104)+(8.17×104)(1.53 \times 10^4) + (8.17 \times 10^4)\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 3.08×1083.08 \times 10^8\newline(B) 9.7×1049.7 \times 10^4\newline(C) 9.7×1089.7 \times 10^8\newline(D) 3.08×1043.08 \times 10^4
  1. Identify Coefficients: We have:\newline(1.53×104)+(8.17×104)(1.53 \times 10^4) + (8.17 \times 10^4)\newlineSince the powers of 1010 are the same, we can directly add the coefficients.\newlineWhat is 1.53+8.171.53 + 8.17?\newline1.53+8.17=9.701.53 + 8.17 = 9.70
  2. Add Coefficients: Write the answer in scientific notation.\newlineSubstitute 9.709.70 for the coefficient and keep the power of 1010 as is, since we did not change the order of magnitude.\newlineScientific notation: 9.70×1049.70 \times 10^4
  3. Convert to Scientific Notation: Choose the equivalent expression for (1.53×104)+(8.17×104)(1.53 \times 10^4) + (8.17 \times 10^4).(1.53×104)+(8.17×104)=9.70×104(1.53 \times 10^4) + (8.17 \times 10^4) = 9.70 \times 10^4(1.53×104)+(8.17×104)(1.53 \times 10^4) + (8.17 \times 10^4) is equivalent to 9.70×1049.70 \times 10^4.
