Bethany wants to estimate the value of (4.296 times 10 Superscript 11) (1.8614 times 10 Superscript negative 14). Which statement about the estimate is true?

D. The number will be less than 1 because when adding the exponents,

11 + (-14) = -3, and a number in scientific notation with a negative exponent is less than 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question lacks appropriate option. Find the options below;

A. The value will be greater than 1 because 4.296 x 10^11 is a very large number and multiplication always increases the size of a number.

B. The value will be greater than 1 because 4 x 2 = 8 and 8 is larger than 1.

C. The value will be less than 1 because (4.296 x 10^11) x (1.8614 x 10^-14) will be a negative number. All negative numbers are less than one.

D. The number will be less than 1 because when adding the exponents,

11 + (-14) = 3, and a number in scientific notation with a negative exponent is less than 1.

Given the expression , to expand the expression we will apply some of the law of indices below. If a, b and m are integers

= 0.0079965744

Based on the result, it can be seen that the resulting value is less than 1 due to the negative power of its exponent (i.e -3). Any scientific notation having a negative exponent always returns a value that is less than 1.

The number will be less than 1 because when adding the exponents, 11 + (negative 14) = negative 3, and a number in scientific notation with a negative exponent is less than 1.
