Q. Simplify. Your answer should be in proper scientific notation:0.05(9×108)
Multiply Decimal by Number: To simplify the expression 0.05(9×108), we first multiply the decimal 0.05 by the number 9. 0.05×9=0.45
Adjust to Scientific Notation: Now we need to combine the result with the power of 10. Since 0.45 is not in scientific notation, we need to adjust it to put it in the correct form.0.45 can be written as 4.5×10−1 because we are moving the decimal point one place to the right to get a number between 1 and 10.
Multiply by Power of 10: Next, we multiply 4.5×10−1 by 108. When multiplying powers of 10, we add the exponents.4.5×10−1×108=4.5×10−1+8=4.5×107
Final Scientific Notation: The expression is now in proper scientific notation.
