Q. Multiply. Write your answer in scientific notation.(3×104)(2×104)______
Identify Components: Identify the components of the multiplication problem.We have: 3×104)(2×104)(Group the coefficients and power terms together.Coefficients: \$3\) and \(2\)\(\newline\)Power terms: \(10^4\) and \(10^4\)
Multiply Coefficients: Multiply the coefficients.\(\newline\)What is \(3 \times 2\)? Multiply the coefficients.\(\newline\)\(3 \times 2 = 6\)
Combine Power Terms: Combine the power terms.\(\newline\)Write \(10^4 \times 10^4\) as a single power of \(10\). When multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.\(\newline\)\(10^4 \times 10^4\)\(\newline\)\(= 10^{4 + 4}\)\(\newline\)\(= 10^8\)
Final Answer: Combine the results from Step \(2\) and Step \(3\) to write the final answer in scientific notation.\(\newline\)Coefficient = \(6\)\(\newline\)Power term = \(10^8\)\(\newline\)Scientific notation: \(6 \times 10^8\)
