simplify the expression. write the answer using scientific notation. (9x10^7)(7x10^9) 1.6x10^17 1.6x10^64 6.3x10^64 6.3x10^17
\(The\ scientific\ notation:a\cdot10^n\ where\ 1\leq a \ \textless \ 10\ and\ n\in\mathbb{Z}\\----------------------------\\\\(9\cdot10^7)(7\cdot10^9)=(9\cdot7)(10^7\cdot10^9)=63\cdot10^{7+9}\\\\=63\cdot10^{16}=6.3\cdot10^{16+1}=6.3\cdot10^{17}\)
Answer:
\(6.3\times10^{17}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to multiply the expression
\((9\times10^7)\times(7\times10^9)\)
We can rewrite this multiplication as
\((9\times7(10^7\times10^9)\)
Now, use the exponent rule, \(x^a\cdot x^b=a^{a+b}\)
\(63\times10^{7+9}\\\\=63\times10^{16}\)
Finally, write in scientific notation
\(6.3\times10^{17}\)
Last option is correct.
