Hi Mord3Kay, welcome to MHB!

I suppose you want to express $2^{2015}\times 5^{2019}$ in scientific notation?

If that's what it's asked, then note that

$\begin{align*}2^{2015}\times 5^{2019}&=2^{2015}\times 5^{4+2015}\\&=2^{2015}\times 5^4\times 5^{2015}\\&=5^4\times (2^{2015}\times 5^{2015})\\&=625\times (2\times 5)^{2015}\\&=6.25\times 10^3\times 10^{2015}\\&=6.25\times 10^{2018}\end{align*}$

As for writing math expressions, symbols or equations in latex, all that you need to do is to enclose your mathematical terms with dollar signs, like if you want $x^2$, you use \$x^2\$, and if you want $x^{12}$, you use \$x^{12}\$.

Related to Solve Exponent Questions: (2^2015)*(5^2019)

1. What is the result of (2^2015)*(5^2019)?

The result of (2^2015)*(5^2019) is 10^(2015+2019) or 10^4034.

2. How do you solve an exponent question with two different bases?

To solve an exponent question with two different bases, you need to use the properties of exponents. First, rewrite the bases with the same exponent. Then, use the property (a^m)*(a^n) = a^(m+n) to combine the bases. Finally, solve the remaining exponent.

3. Can I simplify (2^2015)*(5^2019) further?

No, (2^2015)*(5^2019) is already in its simplest form.

4. How do I convert a number written in scientific notation to its expanded form?

To convert a number written in scientific notation to its expanded form, move the decimal point to the right or left based on the exponent. If the exponent is positive, move the decimal point to the right the number of times indicated by the exponent. If the exponent is negative, move the decimal point to the left the number of times indicated by the exponent. Then, remove the exponent and add zeros as needed.

5. What is the significance of exponential notation in scientific calculations?

Exponential notation is used in scientific calculations to represent very large or very small numbers in a more compact and convenient way. It also allows for easier computation and manipulation of these numbers.
