____________________________
1.32 x 10^8 X 2.34 10^4
multiplying 1.32 and 2.34 we have
1.32*2.34 = 3.0888
10^8 X 10^4 = 10^(8+4) = 10^12
thus,
1.32 x 10^8 X 2.34 10^4 = 3.0888*10^12
3.0888 can be written as 30888/10000
1.32 x 10^8 X 2.34 10^4 = 30888/10000*10^12
10000 = 10^4
1.32 x 10^8 X 2.34 10^4 = (30888/10^4)*10^12
concept used now
![a^x / a ^y =a^(x-y)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/advanced-placement-ap/high-school/t55wvp7mvgwmvvr3pg1jpsoi1x96vxyljz.png)
1.32 x 10^8 X 2.34 10^4 = 30888*10^(12-4)
1.32 x 10^8 X 2.34 10^4 = 30888*10^8
thus, answer is 30888*10^8
