Q. Add. Write your answer in scientific notation.\newline(2.8×103)+(4.3×103)(2.8 \times 10^3) + (4.3 \times 10^3)\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 7.1×1067.1 \times 10^6\newline(B) 7.1×1037.1 \times 10^3\newline(C) 4.58×1034.58 \times 10^3\newline(D) 4.58×1064.58 \times 10^6
  1. Identify Coefficients and Powers: Identify the coefficients and the powers of 1010 in both terms.\newlineWe have (2.8×103)(2.8 \times 10^3) and (4.3×103)(4.3 \times 10^3). Both terms have the same power of 1010, which is 10310^3.
  2. Add Coefficients: Add the coefficients since the powers of 1010 are the same.\newlineCalculate 2.8+4.32.8 + 4.3.\newline2.8+4.3=7.12.8 + 4.3 = 7.1
  3. Write Sum in Scientific Notation: Write the sum in scientific notation.\newlineSince the power of 1010 did not change, the sum in scientific notation is 7.1×1037.1 \times 10^3.
  4. Choose Equivalent Expression: Choose the equivalent expression for (2.8×103)+(4.3×103)(2.8 \times 10^3) + (4.3 \times 10^3). The correct choice is (B)7.1×1037.1 \times 10^3.
