Q. Simplify. Your answer should be in proper scientific notation:\newline(8×102)(6.3×105) \left(8 \times 10^{2}\right)\left(6.3 \times 10^{5}\right)
  1. Multiply Coefficients: Multiply the coefficients (88 and 6.36.3).\newlineTo find the product of two numbers in scientific notation, first multiply their coefficients.\newlineCalculation: 8×6.3=50.48 \times 6.3 = 50.4
  2. Add Exponents: Add the exponents (22 and 55).\newlineWhen multiplying powers of 1010, you add the exponents.\newlineCalculation: 102×105=102+5=10710^2 \times 10^5 = 10^{2+5} = 10^7
  3. Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 11 and Step 22 to write the product in scientific notation.\newlineThe product of the coefficients is 50.450.4, and the combined exponent of 1010 is 77.\newlineHowever, proper scientific notation requires the coefficient to be between 11 and 1010. Since 50.450.4 is not in this range, we need to adjust it.\newlineCalculation: 50.4×10750.4 \times 10^7 can be rewritten as (5.04×10)×107(5.04 \times 10) \times 10^7
  4. Adjust Coefficient: Adjust the coefficient to proper scientific notation by factoring out a power of 1010.\newlineWe can rewrite 5.04×105.04 \times 10 as 5.04×1015.04 \times 10^1.\newlineCalculation: 5.04×101×107=5.04×101+7=5.04×1085.04 \times 10^1 \times 10^7 = 5.04 \times 10^{1+7} = 5.04 \times 10^8
