To multiply numbers written in scientific notation, you multiply the coefficients and add the exponents.

(5.5 x 10^4) x (2.2 x 10^-8) can be rewritten as (5.5 x 2.2) x (10^4 x 10^-8)

Multiplying the coefficients, we get 12.1, and multiplying the powers of 10, we get 10^-4.

Therefore, the answer is 12.1 x 10^-4.

The correct answer is (B) 12.1 x 10^-4.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's try solving it correctly.

To multiply numbers in scientific notation, you multiply the coefficients and add the exponents.

(5.5 × 10^4) multiplied by (2.2 × 10^-8) can be calculated as follows:

5.5 × 2.2 = 12.1 (the coefficient)

10^4 × 10^-8 = 10^(4-8) = 10^-4 (the exponent)

Thus, the final answer in scientific notation is 12.1 × 10^-4.

The correct answer is (A) 1.21 × 10^-4.

Apologies once again for the mistake. Let's solve it correctly this time.

To multiply numbers in scientific notation, you multiply the coefficients and add the exponents.

(5.5 × 10^4) multiplied by (2.2 × 10^-8) can be calculated as follows:

5.5 × 2.2 = 12.1 (the coefficient)

10^4 × 10^-8 = 10^(4 - 8) = 10^-4 (the exponent)

So, the final answer in scientific notation is 1.21 × 10^-4.

The correct answer is (A) 1.21 × 10^-4.
