I'm working on my chemistry homework, and the equation I ended up forming was:
(3.00*10^7)/(4.45*10^-7)
Does 10^7 and 10^-7 cancel if they are divided?
Thank you!
No; 10^7 ÷ 10^(-7) = 10^14.
No, 10^7 and 10^7 cancel when divided. The exponents of 10^7 and 10^-7 add up when divided.
So, ignoring the 3.00 and 4.45, you would have 10^14.
= 3 x 10^7 / 4.45 x 10^-7
= 3 / 4.45 x 10^7 / (1/10^7)
= 3/4.45 x 10^7 x 10^7
= 3/4.45 x 10^14
Nope they don't get cancelled.
See, you can write a^-4 as 1/a^4
Hardly. 10^7/10^(-7) = 10^(14)
x^m/x^n=x^(m-n)
here,
(3/4.45) x 10^14 , because 7-(-7)=14
0.674 x 10^14=6.74 x 10^13
God bless you.
