To multiply the given expressions in scientific notation, we follow the rule that states:
\[ (a \times 10^m) \cdot (b \times 10^n) = (a \cdot b) \times 10^{m+n} \]
Let's solve each expression step by step.
First Expression:
\((2 \times 10^{-3}) \cdot (3 \times 10^{7})\)
Step 1: Multiply the coefficients:
\[ 2 \times 3 = 6 \]
Step 2: Add the exponents:
\[ -3 + 7 = 4 \]
Result:
\[ 6 \times 10^{4} \]
Second Expression:
\((9.1 \times 10^{9}) \cdot (2.6 \times 10^{2})\)
Step 1: Multiply the coefficients:
\[ 9.1 \times 2.6 = 23.66 \]
Step 2: Add the exponents:
\[ 9 + 2 = 11 \]
Result:
\[ 23.66 \times 10^{11} \]
Third Expression:
\((2.366 \times 10^{12})\)
This expression is already simplified. The result is:
\[ 2.366 \times 10^{12} \]
Fourth Expression:
\((6.77 \times 10^{-12}) \cdot (1.12 \times 10^{-6})\)
Step 1: Multiply the coefficients:
\[ 6.77 \times 1.12 = 7.5774 \]
Step 2: Add the exponents:
\[ -12 + (-6) = -18 \]
Result:
\[ 7.5774 \times 10^{-18} \]
Summary of Results:
- \( (2 \times 10^{-3}) \cdot (3 \times 10^{7}) = 6 \times 10^{4} \)
- \( (9.1 \times 10^{9}) \cdot (2.6 \times 10^{2}) = 23.66 \times 10^{11} \)
- \( 2.366 \times 10^{12} \) (already simplified)
- \( (6.77 \times 10^{-12}) \cdot (1.12 \times 10^{-6}) = 7.5774 \times 10^{-18} \)
Now match each expression with its appropriate result as needed.
