Directrix (directrix):

The two numbers to be multiplied are written in scientific notation. Look at the instructions in your text and see if the product is supposed to be expressed in scientific notation.

OpenStudy (diana.xl):

yes it is.

Directrix (directrix):

Multiply the 8 and the 9. Multiply the 10^3 times the 10^5. Which option fits those results.

Directrix (directrix):

I don't think this problem has to do with scientific notation. The answer options are not written in scientific notation.

OpenStudy (diana.xl):

would my answer be the second option

Directrix (directrix):

That is what I think, B. Three options have the 8 times 9 shown. But, when multiplying exponential expressions with the same base, the exponents are added. So, the second part would have to be 10 ^ (3 + 5)
