Final answer:
To find the product of 3.4 × 10² and 1.8 × 10³, multiply the coefficients to get 6.12 and add the exponents to get 10µ, resulting in 6.12 × 10µ in scientific notation.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the product of 3.4 × 10² and 1.8 × 10³, we multiply the coefficients (3.4 and 1.8) and the powers of ten separately:
First, multiply the coefficients: 3.4 × 1.8 = 6.12
Then, add the exponents of 10 (since we are multiplying the same base, the exponents add: 10² × 10³ = 10²+3 = 10µ).
Therefore, the product is 6.12 × 10µ, which is already in scientific notation.
