Question

Find the product. (1.8 x 10^5)(3.1 x 10^2)

Answer 1

Step 1. Simplify
`10^(5)` to
`100000`


`1.8*100000*3.1* 10^(2)`

Step 2. Simplify
`10^(2)` to
`100`


`1.8x*100000*3.1*x*100`

Step 3. Gather like terms


`1.8*100000*3.1*100x*x`

Step 4. Simplify so you get your answer.


`55800000 x^(2)`
