Which of the following correctly explains how the Product of Powers and Quotient of Powers Properties helps you to multiply and divide numbers
in scientific notation?
OA) Each number has a factor that is a power of 10. Because the bases are the same, these properties can be applied to multiply or di-
vide the powers of 10.
OB) Because numbers written in scientific notation have exponents, you can use the Laws of Exponents to multiply or divide the
numbers.
OC) The Product of Powers Property and the Quotient of Powers Property can be used to multiply and divide any numbers.
OD) Each number has a factor that is a power of 10. Because the bases are different, these properties can be applied to multiply or di-
vide the powers of 10.

Respuesta :

The correct option regarding the operations with scientific notation is given as follows:

B) Because numbers written in scientific notation have exponents, you can use the Laws of Exponents to multiply or divide the numbers.

What is scientific notation?

A number in scientific notation is given by:

[tex]a \times 10^b[/tex]

With the base being [tex]a \in [1, 10)[/tex].

An example of a multiplication in scientific notation is:

[tex]2 \times 10^3 \times 3 \times 10^5 = 6 \times 10^{3 + 5} = 6 \times 10^8[/tex]

That is, we multiply the factors, and for the bases of 10, we keep the bases and add the exponents. In a division, we would divide the factors, and for the base of 10, we keep the base and subtract the exponents.

That is, since the numbers have exponents, rules of exponents are used for both multiplication and division, and option b is correct.
