Q. Add. Write your answer in scientific notation.\newline(5.059×104)+(2.7×104)(5.059 \times 10^4) + (2.7 \times 10^4)\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 5.086×1045.086 \times 10^4\newline(B) 7.759×1087.759 \times 10^8\newline(C) 7.759×1047.759 \times 10^4\newline(D) 5.086×1085.086 \times 10^8
  1. Add Coefficients: Add the coefficients of the given numbers. 5.059+2.7=7.7595.059 + 2.7 = 7.759
  2. Combine Exponents: 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 7.759×1047.759 \times 10^4.
  3. Choose Correct Expression: Choose the equivalent expression for the final answer from the given choices.\newlineThe correct choice is (C) 7.759×1047.759 \times 10^4.
