Add. Write your answer in scientific notation. (3.7 × 10^6) + (6 × 10^6)

To add the numbers in scientific notation, we first need to ensure they have the same exponent.

We have:

1. ( 3.7 times 10^6 )
2. ( 6 times 10^6 )

Both numbers already have the same exponent of ( 10^6 ), so we can simply add the coefficients:

[
3.7 + 6 = 9.7

]

Now we express the result in scientific notation:

[
9.7 times 10^6

]

So, the answer is 9.7 × 10^6.

This matches one of the provided options. Great job working through this problem! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
