Scientific Notation Excitement!

Are you ready to dive into the world of scientific notation?

Let's test your knowledge with the following question:

The result of multiplying 7.5 x 10^4 by 2 x 10^3 is:

a. 1.5 x 10^8.

b. 1.5 x 10^7.

c. 15 x 10^6.

d. 15 x 10^7.

Answer:

The correct answer is b. 1.5 x 10^7.

When multiplying numbers in scientific notation, you multiply the coefficients and add the exponents. In this case:

7.5 x 10^4 * 2 x 10^3 = 15 x 10^7 = 1.5 x 10^8

So, the answer is not a. or c. but b. 1.5 x 10^7.
