Simplify this expression and put your answer in Scientific Notation:

Question

(5×10^6)×(2×10^−2)

Step 1:_____ the coefficients
Step 2: ______ the exponents to simplify. Step 3: ______ to change the exponent for Scientific Notation
Step 4: _____ is the final answer.

Answer 1

Step 1: 5 * 2 = 10
Step 2: 10^6 * 10^-2 = 10^4
Step 3: 10^4 can be written as 1.0 x 10^4
Step 4: The final answer in Scientific Notation is 1.0 x 10^4

Answer 2

are you sure?

Answer 3

Apologies for the error. Let's go through the steps again:

Step 1: 5 * 2 = 10
Step 2: 10^6 * 10^-2 = 10^(6-2) = 10^4
Step 3: 10^4 can be written as 1.0 x 10^4
Step 4: The final answer in Scientific Notation is 1.0 x 10^4

So, the final answer is indeed 1.0 x 10^4.
