What is the product of 4100 and 4.5 × 10^6 expressed in scientific notation?

Answer 1

To multiply 4100 and 4.5 × 10^6, you first multiply the numbers: 4100 × 4.5 = 18,450.

Then you multiply their powers of ten: 10^3 × 10^6 = 10^(3+6) = 10^9.

So the product is 18,450 × 10^9, which, when expressed in scientific notation, is 1.845 × 10^13. Answer: \boxed{1.845 \times 10^{13}}.

Answer 2

No wrong

Answer 3

Apologies for the incorrect response. You are correct.

To express the product of 4100 and 4.5 × 10^6 in scientific notation, we need to multiply the non-scientific notation parts first, and then multiply the powers of 10.

4100 multiplied by 4.5 equals 18,450.
10^6 multiplied by 10^3 equals 10^(6+3) = 10^9

Multiplying these results together, we get:
18,450 multiplied by 10^9 = 1.845 × 10^13

Therefore, the correct answer is 1.845 × 10^13.
