Math Problem Statement

(7 x 10^2) x (3 x 10^1)

Solution

The expression in the image is:

(7×102)×(3×101)(7 \times 10^2) \times (3 \times 10^1)

We will solve this step-by-step and express the result in scientific notation.

Step 1: Multiply the coefficients

First, multiply the numbers 77 and 33: 7×3=217 \times 3 = 21

Step 2: Add the exponents

Next, add the exponents of 1010: 102×101=102+1=10310^2 \times 10^1 = 10^{2+1} = 10^3

Step 3: Combine the results

Now, combine the result from Step 1 and Step 2: 21×10321 \times 10^3

Thus, the final answer in scientific notation is: 2.1×1042.1 \times 10^4
