What is the product written in scientific notation?


(2.6 × 10–4)(2.2 × 108)

(2.6)(2.2)x10^(-4+8) = 5.72 x 10^4

Sorry dude, but I really don't care. I just puked a lot of food so I'm not in the mood for it OK? Thanks. Steve's got your answer though if you'd like an answer . . .

To find the product of two numbers written in scientific notation, you need to multiply the coefficients and add the exponents of the powers of 10.

In this case, we have (2.6 × 10^(-4))(2.2 × 10^8).

Step 1: Multiply the coefficients: 2.6 × 2.2 = 5.72.

Step 2: Add the exponents of 10: -4 + 8 = 4.

Therefore, the product written in scientific notation is 5.72 × 10^4.
