Add. Write your answer in scientific notation. (9.03 × 10^6) + (4.37 × 10^6)

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

1. Both numbers are already in the form of ( a times 10^n ) with the same exponent ( 10^6 ).

2. Now, you can add the coefficients:

[

9.03 + 4.37 = 13.40

]

3. Combine this with the common exponent:

[

13.40 times 10^6

]

4. However, ( 13.40 ) needs to be converted to proper scientific notation. Convert it:

[

13.40 = 1.34 times 10^1

]

5. Now, combine this with the ( 10^6 ):

[

1.34 times 10^1 times 10^6 = 1.34 times 10^{1 + 6} = 1.34 times 10^7

]

Thus, the final answer is:

[

boxed{1.34 times 10^7}

]

So, the correct answer is 1.34 × 10^7! Great job working through this! If you need further assistance, feel free to check the extended services page.
