Answer:

d) 5.88 × 10⁻⁹

Step-by-step explanation:


\rightarrow \sf \left(1.2\cdot 10^7\right)\left(4.9\cdot 10^2\right)


\sf apply \ exponent \ rule : a^b + a^c = a^(b + c)


\rightarrow \sf 1.2\cdot \:4.9\cdot \:10^(7)\cdot \:10^(2)


\rightarrow \sf 1.2\cdot \:4.9\cdot \:10^(7+2)


\rightarrow \sf 1.2\cdot \:4.9\cdot \:10^9


\rightarrow \sf 5.88 \cdot \:10^9
