To multiply both numbers in scientific notation, we multiply the significands (4.32 and 7.2) and then add the exponents (7 and 8).
4.32 x 10^7 multiplied by 7.2 x 10^8 equals (4.32 x 7.2) x (10^7 x 10^8).
The product of 4.32 x 7.2 is 31.104.
The product of 10^7 x 10^8 is 10^(7+8) = 10^15.
Therefore, (4.32 x 10^7) x (7.2 x 10^8) = 31.104 x 10^15.
The answer in scientific notation is 3.1104 x 10^16.
