Question

Perform the following operationand express the answer inscientific notation.5.4x103 x 1.2x107[ ? ]x10[?]Coefficient (green) Exponent (yellow)tCoefficient (green)Enter

Answer 1

Since the operation is a multiplication, the order in which we made the multiplications doesn't matter, so we can reoprder it:

`5.4*10^3*1.2*10^7=5.4*1.2*10^3*10^7`

Now, we calculate each of them:

`6.48*10^(3+7)=6.48*10^(10)`
