Final Answer: \(\boxed{2.7 imes 10^{6}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The question is asking to add two numbers in scientific notation. The numbers are \(2 imes 10^{6}\) and \(7 imes 10^{5}\).

Step 2 :To add these numbers, we need to make sure that the powers of 10 are the same. In this case, we can rewrite \(7 imes 10^{5}\) as \(0.7 imes 10^{6}\).

Step 3 :Then, we can add the coefficients (the numbers in front of the powers of 10) together.

Step 4 :The sum of \(2 imes 10^{6}\) and \(0.7 imes 10^{6}\) is \(2.7 imes 10^{6}\).

Step 5 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{2.7 imes 10^{6}}\)
