Answer:
8.612 x 10⁶
Step-by-step explanation:
Given problem:
(8.60×10⁶) + (1.2×10⁴)
Solve by the process of scientific notation;
Solution:
(8.60×10⁶) + (1.2×10⁴)
Adjust the exponent so that they are of the same value;
8.6 x 10⁶ = 860 x 10⁴
So;
(860 x 10⁴) + (1.2×10⁴) = (860 + 1.2) x 10⁴
= 861.2 x 10⁴
or
8.612 x 10⁶
