QuestionCalculate and express in decimal form: .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are performing a division operation. The numbers are in scientific notation3. The base of the exponent is10
STEP 2
First, we separate the division operation into two parts the division of the coefficients (the numbers before the exponent) and the division of the exponents.
STEP 3
Perform the division of the coefficients.
STEP 4
For the exponents, recall that when you divide with the same base, you subtract the exponents.
STEP 5
Perform the operation in the exponent.
STEP 6
Now, multiply the results from the coefficient division and the exponent division.
So, the result of the operation is .
STEP 7
To express the answer in decimal notation, we move the decimal point4 places to the left, as indicated by the exponent of -4.
The result of the operation in decimal notation is0.00022.
