Convert.
To find the product of (5*10^-7) multiplied by (3.2*10^12), you can use the rules of exponentiation.
First, multiply the two numbers outside of the exponential term: 5 multiplied by 3.2. This gives you 16.
Next, you multiply the exponential terms: 10^-7 multiplied by 10^12. When multiplying two exponential terms with the same base, you add the exponents. So, -7 + 12 equals 5.
Putting it all together, the product is 16 multiplied by 10^5. This can be written as 1.6 * 10^5.
Therefore, the correct answer is C) 1.6*10^5.
