Answer:
We want to solve the sum:
6.74*10⁴ + 8.95*10⁴
first, we take the common factor 10⁴ out, so we get:
(6.74 + 8.95)*10⁴
Now we solve the sum:
(15.66)*10⁴
Now we want to rewrite it in exponential form, wo we can rewrite it as:
(15.66)*10⁴ = (1.566*10)*10⁴ = (1.566)*10*10⁴ = (1.566)*10⁴⁺¹ = 1.566*10⁵
k = 5.
