(2x10^5)(3x10^6)
6x10^11 right?
Just filling in time.
yes that is correct
To multiply two numbers written in scientific notation, you multiply their coefficients (the numbers in front of the "x" symbol) and add their exponents (the numbers after the "x" symbol). Let's calculate it step by step:
Step 1: Multiply the coefficients:
2 x 3 = 6
Step 2: Add the exponents:
10^5 x 10^6 = 10^(5+6) = 10^11
Combining the coefficient and the exponent, we get 6x10^11. So, (2x10^5) x (3x10^6) is equal to 6x10^11.
