(9x10^6)(7x10^5)
6.3x10^12
To multiply two numbers in scientific notation, you multiply the coefficients and add the exponents.
Let's break it down step-by-step:
1. Multiply the coefficients: 9 * 7 = 63.
2. Add the exponents: 6 + 5 = 11.
3. Write down the result in scientific notation by placing the decimal after the first digit: 63 becomes 6.3.
4. Move the decimal point 11 places to the right to account for the exponent: 6.3 becomes 63,000,000.
Therefore, (9x10^6)(7x10^5) equals 63,000,000 in standard form or 6.3x10^7 in scientific notation.
