write the expression in scientific notation (1.7x10^-4)(5x10^-5) please show the steps

Answer 1

To multiply two numbers in scientific notation, you multiply their coefficients and add their exponents:

(1.7 × 10^-4) × (5 × 10^-5) = (1.7 × 5) × (10^-4 × 10^-5)

= 8.5 × 10^-9

Therefore, the expression (1.7x10^-4)(5x10^-5) in scientific notation is 8.5x10^-9.
