Question

When evaluating StartFraction (6.28 times 10 Superscript 12 Baseline) Over (3.14 times 10 Superscript 4 Baseline) EndFraction, what will be the exponent of 10 in the quotient?
3
4
8
16

Answer 1

This shows that the exponent of 10 in the quotient is 8

Evaluating exponential function

Given the exponential function below expressed as:

$n=\frac{6.28\times 10^{12}}{3.14\times 10^4}$

Separate

$n=\frac{6.28}{3.14}\times \frac{10^{12}}{10^4}$

According to the quotient law;

$n=2\times 10^{12-4}\\n=2\times10^8$

This shows that the exponent of 10 in the quotient is 8
