Answer 1

The answer is 8

Explanation:

the person above me has provided the explanation

Answer 2

The exponent of 10 in the product is 8.

Explanation:

The expression is as follows:

`(3.25* 10^(5))\cdot (1.82* 10^(3))`

Exponent rule:

`a^(m)* a^(n)=a^(m+n)`

Simplify the expression as follows:

`(3.25* 10^(5))\cdot (1.82* 10^(3))=3.25* 10^(5)* 1.82* 10^(3)`

`=(3.25* 1.82)* (10^(5)* 10^(3))\\\\=5.915* 10^(5+3)\\\\=5.915* 10^(8)`

Thus, the exponent of 10 in the product is 8.
