To add (3.71x10^5) and (4.65x10^7), we need to make sure that both numbers have the same exponent.
First, we can convert 3.71x10^5 to scientific notation with an exponent of 7:
3.71x10^5 = 3.71x10^7 x 10^(-2)
Now, we can rewrite the expression as:
(3.71x10^7 x 10^(-2)) + (4.65x10^7)
To add these numbers, we first add the coefficients:
3.71 + 4.65 = 8.36
Then, we add the exponents:
10^7 x 10^(-2) + 10^7 = 10^7+7 = 10^14
Therefore, the sum of (3.71x10^5) and (4.65x10^7) is:
8.36x10^14
