Q. Multiply.\newline(2×101)(2×102)(2 \times 10^1)(2 \times 10^2)\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 3×1033 \times 10^3\newline(B) 4×1034 \times 10^3\newline(C) 8×1038 \times 10^3\newline(D) 7×1037 \times 10^3
  1. Group Coefficients and Powers: We have the expression (2×101)(2×102)(2 \times 10^1)(2 \times 10^2). First, we need to group the coefficients and the power terms together.\newlineCoefficients: 22 and 22\newlinePower terms: 10110^1 and 10210^2
  2. Multiply Coefficients: Multiply the coefficients together. What is 2×22 \times 2?\newlineCalculation: 2×2=42 \times 2 = 4
  3. Combine Power Terms: Combine the power terms 101×10210^1 \times 10^2 into a single power of 1010. When multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.\newlineCalculation: 101×102=10(1+2)=10310^1 \times 10^2 = 10^{(1 + 2)} = 10^3
  4. Write in Scientific Notation: We have found the coefficient to be 44 and the power term to be 10310^3. Now, we write the final answer in scientific notation by combining these results.\newlineScientific notation: 4×1034 \times 10^3
