Let's choose 3.2 x 10^4 and 4.82 x 10^12 to multiply.
To multiply these numbers, we need to multiply the numerical parts and add the exponents.
(3.2 x 4.82) x (10^4 x 10^12)
= 15.424 x 10^(4+12)
= 15.424 x 10^16
Therefore, the product of 3.2 x 10^4 and 4.82 x 10^12 is 15.424 x 10^16.
In this problem, you will practice added, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing numbers written in scientific notation. For each part, use the following numbers.
3.2 x 10^4, 1.95 x 10^6, 8.03 x 10^-8, 2.56 x 10^-2, 4.82 x 10^12
Choose two of the scientific numbers from the list and multiply them. Show
