Simplify, leaving the result in standard index form.

We use the rules for multiplying and dividing powers.

\n

To multiply powers we add, for example $10^2 \\times 10^6 = 10^{(2+6)} = 10^{8}$.

\n

To divide powers we subtract, for example $10^2 \\div 10^6 = 10^{(2-6)} = 10^{-4}$.

a)

\n

\\[ \\begin{align} (\\var{int} \\times 10^\\var{ran - 3} ) \\times (\\var{int - 11} \\times 10^\\var{ran})  &= \\var{int} \\times (\\var{int-11}) \\times 10^{(\\var{ran - 3} + \\var{ran})} \\\\&= (\\var{int*(int-11)}) \\times 10^{\\var{ran - 3 + ran}} \\end{align} \\]

\n

We want to write this number in standard form so we move decimal place one place to the left to get

\n

\\[(\\var{int*(int-11)/10}) \\times 10^{(\\var{ran - 3 + ran} + 1)} = (\\var{int*(int-11)/10}) \\times 10^{\\var{ran - 2 + ran}} \\text{.}\\]

Similarly,

The easiest way to do this is to convert these numbers in standard form into decimals, do the calculation with decimal forms, then change them back into standard form.
