We have (5X10^-4)(3X10^-10) under a square root sign (and then further calculations to complete the formula). We are getting the correct answer but with the decimal point way off. What do I need to know about negative exponents under square root signs?
(5X10^-4)(3X10^-10)
\(\sqrt{(5*10^{-4})(3*10^{-10}) }\\ =\sqrt{5*10^{-4}*3*10^{-10} }\\ =\sqrt{5*3*10^{-4}*10^{-10} }\\ =\sqrt{15*10^{-4+-10} }\\ =\sqrt{15*10^{-14} }\\ =\sqrt{15}*\sqrt{10^{-14} }\\ =\sqrt{15}*10^{(-14*\frac{1}{2}) }\\ =\sqrt{15}*10^{(-7) }\\ =\sqrt{15}*\frac{1}{10^{(+7) }}\\ =\frac{\sqrt{15}}{10^7}\\\)
sqrt(15)/10^7 = 0.0000003872983346

\(\sqrt{{(5\times10^{-4})}\times(3\times10^{-10})}\)
\(=\sqrt{0.0005\times 0.0000000003}\)
\(=\sqrt{0.000 000 000 00015}\)
\(=3.60555127546\times 10^{-7}\)
!
sqrt[(5 x 10^-4)(3x10^-10)] = sqrt (15 x 10^-14) = sqrt(15) x 10^-7 =
0.0000003872983346 = 3.872983346e-7

thanks for the detailed answers. but asinus's answer does not agree with the others. why not?
atdhvaannkcse!
Typo..... Asinus found the square root of 13 x 10^-14 instead of 15 x 10^-14
