scientific notation

Question

If I were trying to change a problem with exponents into a scientific notation how would I do that?

Example is $4(10^{50})^{100}$

I will have questions like this on an exam and I need to understand how to do it. Thank you.

Answer 1

Since $$(10^{50})^{100} = 10^{50 \times 100} = 10^{5000}$$ we have $$4(10^{50})^{100} = 4 \times 10^{5000}$$
