To express the product in scientific notation, we need to find the decimal place and the exponent.
The product is 8.9 × 10² * 5.1 × 10⁴.
To find the decimal place, we multiply the decimals: 8.9 * 5.1 = 45.39.
The decimal place is after the second digit (9), so the number in scientific notation is 4.539.
To find the exponent, we add the exponents of 10: 2 + 4 = 6.
Therefore, the product in scientific notation is 4.539 × 10⁶.
