What is the product in scientific notation?
(1.4x10^3)(2.5x10^-6)
Please answer and explain how you got the answer.
(1.4*2.5)x10^(3-6)
3.5x10^-3
multiply the numbers, add the exponents
To find the product in scientific notation, we need to multiply the coefficients (1.4 and 2.5) and add the exponents (3 and -6).
Step 1: Multiply the coefficients:
1.4 * 2.5 = 3.5
Step 2: Add the exponents:
10^3 * 10^-6 = 10^(3+(-6)) = 10^-3
So, the product in scientific notation is 3.5 x 10^-3.
