Math Problem Statement

(5 × 10^6) × (8 × 10^(-3))

Solution

The expression in the image is:

(5×106)×(8×103)(5 \times 10^6) \times (8 \times 10^{-3})

To solve this, we can use the properties of exponents and multiplication.

  1. Multiply the coefficients (5 and 8):

5×8=405 \times 8 = 40

  1. Multiply the powers of 10:

106×103=106+(3)=10310^6 \times 10^{-3} = 10^{6 + (-3)} = 10^3

Now, combine the results:

40×10340 \times 10^3

This can also be written as:

4.0×1044.0 \times 10^4

So, the final answer is:

4.0×1044.0 \times 10^4
