Q. Which two expressions are equivalent to each other?\newlineMulti-select Choices:\newline(A) 1010×10310^{10} \times 10^{-3}\newline(B) 1107\frac{1}{10^{7}}\newline(C) 1103\frac{1}{10^{-3}}\newline(D) 107104\frac{10^{7}}{10^{4}}
  1. Simplify Choice (A): Simplify each choice to find equivalencies:\newline(A) 1010×10310^{10} \times 10^{-3}\newlineCalculation: 1010+(3)=10710^{10 + (-3)} = 10^7
  2. Simplify Choice (B): Simplify choice (B):\newline(B) 1107 \frac{1}{10^7} \newlineThis expression remains as is, no simplification needed.
  3. Simplify Choice (C): Simplify choice (C):\newline(C) 1103 \frac{1}{10^{-3}} \newlineCalculation: 10310^3 (since 1103=103 \frac{1}{10^{-3}} = 10^3)
  4. Simplify Choice (D): Simplify choice (D):\newline(D) 107104 \frac{10^7}{10^4} \newlineCalculation: 1074=10310^{7-4} = 10^3
  5. Compare Simplified Results: Compare the simplified results:\newline10710^7 from (A), 1107 \frac{1}{10^7} from (B), 10310^3 from (C) and 10310^3 from (D).\newlineChoices (C) and (D) are equivalent as both simplify to 10310^3.
