Simplify the expression. Write the answer using scientific notation. (5x107)(6x104)
A) 1.1 x 1012
B) 3.0x 1029
C) 3.0 x 1012
D) 1.1 x 1029

3* 10 ^12

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x10^7)(6x10^4)

Multiply the numbers together

5*6 =30

Add the exponents

10^7 * 10 ^ 4 = 10 ^(7+4) = 10 ^11

30 * 10 ^11

But this is not scientific notation since 30 >10

Move the decimal one place to the left and add 1 to the exponent

3* 10 ^12

the correct answer is

c. 4

step-by-step explanation:

the given polynomial is

the degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent which is 4.

the -4 is called the leading coefficient.

this polynomial has only one term so it is a monomial.

the correct answer is option c.
