Math Problem Statement

(5.4 × 10^6)(9 × 10^7)

Solution

The question in the image asks to calculate (5.4×106)×(9×107)(5.4 \times 10^6) \times (9 \times 10^7) and to provide the answer in scientific notation.

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Multiply the base numbers:
    5.4×9=48.65.4 \times 9 = 48.6

  2. Multiply the powers of 10:
    106×107=106+7=101310^6 \times 10^7 = 10^{6+7} = 10^{13}

  3. Combine the results:
    48.6×101348.6 \times 10^{13}

  4. Adjust into scientific notation:
    48.648.6 is written as 4.86×1014.86 \times 10^1, so we combine it with 101310^{13}:
    4.86×101×1013=4.86×10144.86 \times 10^1 \times 10^{13} = 4.86 \times 10^{14}

Thus, the final answer is: 4.86×1014\boxed{4.86 \times 10^{14}}
