All I need is trust :)

and thanks...

and that's it :P

Answer 2

For this case we must find the quotient of the following expression:

`\frac {4.86 * 10 ^ 9} {2.43 * 10 ^ 3}`

By definition of division of powers of the same base we have:

`\frac {a ^ m} {a ^ n} = a ^ {m-n}`

So, rewriting the expression we have:

`\frac {4.86} {2.43} * 10 ^ {9-3} =2 * 10 ^ 6`

Answer:

The exponent is 6

The quotient coefficient is 2

The operation is division of powers of the same base, the same base is placed and the exponents are subtracted.
