To multiply two numbers in scientific notation, you multiply the coefficients and add the exponents.
The coefficient of 4.82x10^12 is 4.82, and the coefficient of 3.2x10^4 is 3.2.
Multiplying the coefficients gives 4.82 * 3.2 = 15.424.
The exponents of 10^12 and 10^4 are 12 and 4, respectively.
Adding the exponents gives 12+4=16.
Therefore, the result is 15.424 x 10^16.
4.82x10^12 multiplied by 3.2x10^4
