what do you do when you divide two numbers written in exponential notation

Aadd the exponents of the 10 together
Bmultiply the exponents of the 10 together
Csubtract the exponents of the 10 from the other
Ddivide the exponents of the 10 by the other

Verified Answer :

apologiabiology

you add the exponents
remember
\((x^m)(x^n)=x^{m+n}\)

so

2 numbers in scientific notation are
\((a*10^m)(b*10^n)=(a)(10^m)(b)(10^n)=(ab)(10^m*10^n)=(ab)(10^{m+n})\)


so add them

Subtract the exponents when dividing and add when multiplying
