Question

Multiply (3.1 x 10 squared) (2.0 x 10 cubed)

Answer 1

So, \[(3.1 \times10^2)(2\times10^3)?\]

Answer 2

I believe it is: \[(31^2)(20^3) = 620^5\]

Answer 3

or, 6.2 times 10 to the 5.

Answer 4

620000

Answer 5

yes. but if you need to keep in scientific notation then it is 6.2 X 10^5

Answer 6

Britt, you don't get the same answer with 6.2x 10^5 and 620^5. I did mine according to pemdas and kept the exponents there as a simplification.

Answer 7

Alvin and Brittany are right, i was wrong haha

Answer 8

distributive property

Answer 9

no. it's just how you add items in scientific notation... ha

Answer 10

you multiple the terms being multiplied in the scientific notation and then add the exponents that are with the 10's

Answer 11

humm.. that sounded weird
