Answer:
Explanation:
Given the expression:
[tex]\frac{2.592\times10^7}{7.2\times10^4}[/tex]We can rewrite it as:
[tex]\frac{2592\times10^{-3}\times10^7}{72\times10^{-1}\times10^4}[/tex]Combine all powers of 10:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{2592\times10^{-3+7}}{72\times10^{-1+4}^{}} \\ =\frac{2592\times10^4}{72\times10^3} \\ =\frac{2592}{72^{}}\times\frac{10^4}{10^3} \\ =36\times10 \\ =3.6\times10^1\times10^1 \\ =3.6\times10^{1+1} \\ =3.6\times10^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]The quotient expressed in scientific notation is 3.6 x 10².
