Answer:


4.2*10^(-1)

Explanation:

We want to simplify:


2.1*10^(-3)* 2*10^2

We rewrite to get:


2.1*2*10^2*10^(-3)*10^2

We now apply the laws of indices


4.2*10^(-3+2)

We simplify to get
4.2*10^(-1)

We leave our final answer is scientific form.

The final answer is therefore:


4.2*10^(-1)
