How to multiply numbers in scientific form?
The scientific notation form is simply a method of presenting larger or smaller numbers in a more simple way.
Given the data in the question;
( 9 × 10⁴ ) × ( 6 × 10⁻⁷ )
First, multiply 9 and 6
( 9 × 10⁴ ) × ( 6 × 10⁻⁷ )
9 × 6 ( 10⁴ × 10⁻⁷ )
54( 10⁴ × 10⁻⁷ )
Next, multiply 10⁴ × 10⁻⁷ by adding the exponents.
Using power rule mᵃ × mᵇ = mᵃ ⁺ ᵇ
54( 10⁴ × 10⁻⁷ )
54( 10⁴ ⁺ ⁻⁷ )
54( 10⁴ ⁻⁷ )
Subtract 7 from 4
54 × 10⁻³
Move the decimal point in 54 to the left by place and increase the power of 10⁻³ by 1
5.4 × 10⁻³ ⁺ ¹
5.4 × 10⁻²
Therefore, the simplified form is 5.4 × 10⁻².
