What is the product of 1.7 × 10−13 and 3.5 × 1025? (5 points)
1.8 × 1012
2.06 × 1012
3.5 × 1012
5.95 × 1012
To find the product of two numbers in scientific notation, you need to multiply their numerical parts and add their exponents.
For 1.7 × 10^(-13) and 3.5 × 10^(25), the numerical parts multiply to get 1.7 * 3.5 = 5.95.
The exponents are -13 and 25. When you multiply two numbers with different exponents, you add the exponents together. So, -13 + 25 = 12.
Therefore, the product 1.7 × 10^(-13) * 3.5 × 10^(25) is 5.95 × 10^(12).
So the answer is: 5.95 × 10^(12).
