Capitolo 1, Problema 36

Perform the indicated operation and write the answer in decimal notation.(3×103)(1.3×102)(3\(\times\)10^3)(1.3\(\times\)10^2)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the given expression: \( (3 \times 10^{3}) (1.3 \times 10^{2}) \). This is a multiplication of two numbers expressed in scientific notation.
Use the property of exponents and multiplication: when multiplying numbers in scientific notation, multiply the coefficients (the numbers in front) and add the exponents of 10. So, multiply 3 and 1.3, and add the exponents 3 and 2.
Calculate the product of the coefficients: \(3 \times 1.3\).
Add the exponents of 10: \(3 + 2\) to get the new exponent.
Combine the results to write the product in scientific notation, then convert this scientific notation to decimal notation by moving the decimal point according to the exponent.
