When evaluating, what will be the exponent of 10 in the quotient?
3
4
8
16

For this case we have the following division:
[tex] \frac{6.28 * 10 ^ {12}}{3.14 * 10 ^ 4}
[/tex]
Rewriting the product we have:
[tex] (\frac{6.28}{3.14}) (\frac{10^{12}}{10^4})
[/tex]
By definition we have to:
In the divison, if we have the same base we subtract the exponents.
We have then:
[tex] (2) (10 ^ {(12-4)})
(2) (10 ^ 8)
[/tex]
Answer:
The exponent of 10 in the division will be:
8
