Q. Add. Write your answer in scientific notation.\newline(3.2×102)+(4.047×102)(3.2 \times 10^2) + (4.047 \times 10^2)\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 7.247×1027.247 \times 10^2\newline(B) 9.74×1029.74 \times 10^2\newline(C) 9.74×1049.74 \times 10^4\newline(D) 7.247×1047.247 \times 10^4
  1. Add Coefficients: Add the coefficients of the given numbers. 3.2+4.047=7.2473.2 + 4.047 = 7.247
  2. Combine in Scientific Notation: Since the exponents of 1010 are the same, we can directly add the coefficients and keep the exponent unchanged.\newlineThe sum in scientific notation is 7.247×1027.247 \times 10^2.
  3. Choose Correct Expression: Choose the equivalent expression for the final answer from the given choices.\newlineThe correct choice is (A) 7.247×1027.247 \times 10^2.
