Question

What is the product of 39 and 5.2 * 10 to the power of 5 expressed in scientific notation?

Answer 1

The product of 39 and 5.2 x 10 to the power of 5 expressed in scientific notation is
`2.028 * 10^7`

Solution:

Given, expression is product of 39 and 5.2 x 10 to the power of 5

We have to find the product value of above two numbers in the scientific notation,

`\text { Now, product }=39 * 5.2 * 10^(5)`

By multiplying 39 with 5.2, we get

`\begin{array}{l}{=2028 * 10^(5)} \\\\ {=2.028 * 10^(2) * 10^(5)} \\\\ {=2.028 * 10^(2+5)} \\\\ {=2.028 * 10^(7)}\end{array}`

Hence, the scientific notation of the product is
`2.028 * 10^7`
