use the exponent function on your calculator (ee or exp) to compute the following.

Question

(6.02 x 10^23) (8.65 x 10^4)

Answer 1

To compute \((6.02 \times 10^{23}) \times (8.65 \times 10^{4})\), you can multiply the coefficients (6.02 and 8.65) and then add the exponents of 10.

1. First, multiply the coefficients: \[ 6.02 \times 8.65 \approx 52.059 \]

2. Next, add the exponents: \[ 23 + 4 = 27 \]

3. Now, combine the results: \[ 52.059 \times 10^{27} \]

To write it in proper scientific notation, where the coefficient is between 1 and 10, you can adjust it as follows: \[ 5.2059 \times 10^{28} \]

Thus, the final result is: \[ 5.2059 \times 10^{28} \]
