To multiply the coefficients and the exponents in this expression, you first multiply 5 by 2 to get 10. Then, multiply 10^6 by 10^-2 by adding the exponents, which gives you 10^4.
Therefore, the result of (5×10^6)×(2×10^−2) is 10×10^4, which simplifies to 10^5.
Therefore, the result of (5×10^6)×(2×10^−2) is 10×10^4, which simplifies to 10^5.
