Multiply. (2.4 × 10^{-2})(9.75 × 10^{-1})
2.34 × 10^{-5}
2.34 × 10^{3}
2.34 × 10^{-2}
2.34 × 10^{-4}
To multiply the numbers in scientific notation, you can follow these steps:
1. Multiply the coefficients:
– 2.4 × 9.75 = 23.4
2. Add the exponents:
– (-2) + (-1) = -3
Now combine both results into scientific notation:
– The multiplication gives you 23.4 × 10^{-3}.
Next, convert 23.4 to proper scientific notation by expressing it as 2.34 × 10^{1}. Then adjust the exponent accordingly:
– 2.34 × 10^{1} × 10^{-3} = 2.34 × 10^{-2} (because 1 – 3 = -2).
Thus, the answer is 2.34 × 10^{-2}.
This corresponds to the option:
2.34 × 10^{-2}
