Find the simplified form of the expression and write in scientific notation? (8 x 10^7)(7 x 10^4)

OpenStudy (phi):

this is the same as 8*10^7 * 7 * 10^4 (multiplying four numbers) order can be changed when multiplying (right? example: 2*3= 3*2) 7*8 * 10^7 * 10^4 you can use parens if you like: (7*8) * (10^7 * 10^4) can you finish?

OpenStudy (icalibear):

56 x 10 ^11

??

OpenStudy (icalibear):

hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good ..

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, but you want to put it into standard form: the leading number should be between 1 and 10 so make 56 small by a factor of 10 and make the 10^11 bigger by a factor of 10 that is: 5.6 x 10^12

OpenStudy (icalibear):

okay, thanks
