what is the solution to (4 x 10^3) x (6 x 10^6), written in scientific notation?

A. 24 x 10^9
B. 2.4 x 10^9 **
C. 24 x 10^18
D. 2.4 x 10^10

Is this right?

Nope, The correct answer should be 2.4*10^10. Answer A is numerically correct, but it is not in the proper format of X.XX 10^y

OK thank you!

Yes, you are correct. The solution to (4 x 10^3) x (6 x 10^6) can be written in scientific notation as 2.4 x 10^9. To arrive at this answer, you need to multiply the numbers outside the exponential notation (4 x 6 = 24) and multiply the exponents (3 + 6 = 9). Finally, you express the result in scientific notation by placing the decimal point after the first non-zero digit (2.4) and multiplying it by 10 raised to the power of the exponent (10^9).
