C) 74 • 10^4
D) 7.4 • 10^3


Please, and thank you.

Answer 1

7.4 · 10^4

Explanation:

For scientific notation, multiplication is pretty simple.

In this case, you would only multiply the "regular" number by 2.

(3.7 · 2) · 10^4

= 7.4 · 10^4

However, if it were asking about multiplying the number with something else in scientific notation, in addition to what we did above, you'd add together the exponents.

I hope this helped!
