The sum of the numbers is 2.115 * 10^14
How to evaluate the sum?
The sum expression is given as:
(2.1 × 10^14) + (1.5 × 10^12)
Express 1.5 as 0.015 * 10^2
(2.1 × 10^14) + (0.015 * 10^2 × 10^12)
Evaluate the product
(2.1 × 10^14) + (0.015 * 10^14)
Factor out 10^14
10^14 *(2.1 + 0.015)
Evaluate the sum
10^14 * 2.115
Rewrite as:
2.115 * 10^14
Hence, the sum of the numbers is 2.115 * 10^14
