test yourself! practice tool\nfind the sum. write your answer in scientific notation, with the decimal to the nearest thousandth.\n$(1.37\times 10^{12})+(23.47\times 10^{14})$

Answer

# Explanation: ## Step1: Rewrite numbers with same exponent Rewrite $1.37\times 10^{12}$ as $0.0137\times 10^{14}$. ## Step2: Add the coefficients $(0.0137 + 23.47)\times10^{14}=23.4837\times 10^{14}$. ## Step3: Convert to proper scientific - notation $23.4837\times 10^{14}=2.34837\times 10^{15}$. Rounding to the nearest thousandth, we get $2.348\times 10^{15}$. # Answer: $2.348\times 10^{15}$
