Answer:

3.74 x 10^5

Step-by-step explanation:

First expand the term in scientific notation into normal notation.

3.3 x 10^5   -   Here the ^5 tells us to move the decimal five places to the right, so we go from

3.30000 to

330000.00

So 3.3 x 10^5 = 330,000

Now add that to 44,000 and you get 374,000.

Return this number to scientific notation.  Move the decimal back to its spot before the 3.  We go from

374,000.00 to

3.74000

Once again the decimal has moved five places, so that is the number in the exponent of the our scientific notation, and therefore our answer is

3.74 x 10^5
