Question

Which of the following is the same as 8.4 × 10 to the second power?

Which of the following is the same as 8.4 × 10*2 ?

A. .84
B. 8,400
C. 840
D. 84

Answer 1

I believe the answer would be C.) 840

Answer 2

1)
`8.4 * 10^(2)` is the same as
`8.4 * 100` because the order of operations state to perform the exponents before multiplication.

`8.4 * 100 = 840`

The answer is C) 840

2) I'm assuming the second thing you said was a typo, but 8.4 × 10*2 is the same as 8.4 x 20, for the same reason above. 8.4 x 20 = 168.
