PLEASE HELP!! Simplify the monomial (6.32 x 10^-12)(9.5 x 10^-5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just multiply across

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you would multiply the first number, and then add the integers. so it would be like 6.32 x 9.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60.04

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Times 10^(-12-5) but to have it fully simplified you want to factor the 10 out of 60.04.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 60.04 x 10^60 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no you add the polynomials. so -12+-5=-17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be 60.04 x 10^-17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're welcome :)

That's not quite right. 6.004 x 10^-16 is scientific notation.
