Exercise 41 Page 437

Recall the Power of a Product and the Power of a Power Properties.

1.3312053* 10^(25)

Practice makes perfect

We want to simplify the given expression and write the answer in scientific notation. To do so, we will apply the Power of a Product and the Power of a Power Properties. Power of a Product:& (ab)^n = a^nb^n Power of a Power:& (a^m)^n = a^(m* n)The above properties are valid when a≠ 0, b≠ 0, and when m and n are any rational numbers. Let's do it!

( 2.37* 10^8 )^3
(2.37)^3 * ( 10^8 )^3
(2.37)^3 * 10^(24)
13.312053 * 10^(24)

Now we have to write the simplified expression in scientific notation.

13.312053* 10^(24)
1.3312053* 10* 10^(24)
1.3312053* 10^(1+24)
1.3312053* 10^(25)
