What is the product of 3.4 x 10^2 and 1.8 x 10^3 expressed in scientific notation?

1 answer

To find the product of 3.4 x 10^2 and 1.8 x 10^3, we need to multiply the two numbers together and then add their exponents.

3.4 x 10^2 = 340
1.8 x 10^3 = 1800

Multiplying 340 and 1800, we get 612000.

Now, we need to add the exponents: 2 + 3 = 5.

Therefore, the product 3.4 x 10^2 and 1.8 x 10^3 expressed in scientific notation is 6.12 x 10^5.
