Group Coefficients and Powers: We have the expression: (7×101)(1×101)First, group the coefficients and power terms together.Coefficients: 7 and 1Power terms: 101 and 101
Multiply Coefficients: What is 7×1? Multiply the coefficients.7×1=7
Combine Power Terms: Write 101×101 as a single power of 10. When multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.101×101=10(1+1)=102
Write in Scientific Notation: We found:Coefficient = 7Power term = 102Write the final answer in scientific notation. Substitute 7 for the coefficient and 2 for the exponent in a×10b.Scientific notation: 7×102
