Math Problem Statement

Multiply the following and express your answer in appropriate scientific notation:

(8.4 x 10^7) x (1.1 x 10^6)

product =

Solution

To multiply the given numbers and express the result in scientific notation, follow these steps:

  1. Multiply the coefficients: 8.4×1.1=9.248.4 \times 1.1 = 9.24

  2. Add the exponents (since both numbers are in scientific notation and being multiplied): 107×106=107+6=101310^7 \times 10^6 = 10^{7+6} = 10^{13}

  3. Combine the results: 9.24×10139.24 \times 10^{13}

So, the product is: 9.24×1013\boxed{9.24 \times 10^{13}}
