Do the following calculations using scientific notation: 0.0005 x 0.002

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5.0 * 10^-4 * 2.0 * 10^-3 5.0 * 2.0 * 10^[-4+(-3)] 10 * 10^-3 10^(1-3) 10^(-2) 1/10^2 1/100

I'm sorry but that made no sense what soever -__- ):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

* means multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^ means raised to the power

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, in the solution, you move the place value 0.0005 from 0.0 to 5.0. The amount of times u moved it is 4. There fore it is a negative 4

You apply the same technique to the other number, that is, 0.002 to get 2.0 * 10 ^ -3
