Answers

GPT 3.5
To multiply these numbers in scientific notation, we first multiply their coefficient parts and then add their exponent parts.

(2.56 ✕ 10^-2) multiplied by (4.82 ✕ 10^12) can be written as:

2.56 * 4.82 = 12.3712

The exponents of 10 are then added:

10^-2 + 10^12 = 10^(-2 + 12) = 10^10

Combining these results, we have:

12.3712 ✕ 10^10 in scientific notation.

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's redo the calculation correctly.

(2.56 ✕ 10^-2) multiplied by (4.82 ✕ 10^12) can be written as:

2.56 * 4.82 = 12.3712

The exponents of 10 are then added:

10^-2 + 10^12 = 10^(12 - 2) = 10^10

Combining these results, we have:

12.3712 ✕ 10^10 in scientific notation.

So the correct answer is 12.3712 ✕ 10^10.
