To express the product of \( 4.9 \) and \( (1.5 \times 10^6) \) in scientific notation, you can follow these steps:
1. Multiply the decimal numbers:
\( 4.9 \times 1.5 = 7.35 \).
2. Since \( 7.35 \) is greater than \( 10 \), we can express it in scientific notation:
\( 7.35 = 7.35 \times 10^0 \).
3. Combine it with the \( 10^6 \) term:
\( 7.35 \times 10^0 \times 10^6 = 7.35 \times 10^{0+6} = 7.35 \times 10^6 \).
Thus, the scientific notation of \( 4.9 \times (1.5 \times 10^6) \) is:
\[
7.35 \times 10^6.
\]
