The world population of a certain species is evaluated at 2.6 × 1016. By some projections, this population will be 5 times more important in 30 years. Express the population at that time in scientific notation.

To express the population at that time in scientific notation, we can multiply the current population by 5 and represent it with the appropriate exponent.
Population in 30 years = 2.6 × 10^16 * 5
= 13 × 10^16
= 1.3 × 10^(16+1)
= 1.3 × 10^17
Therefore, the population at that time will be 1.3 × 10^17.
