Q. Multiply.\newline(2×102)(4×102)(2 \times 10^2)(4 \times 10^2)\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 3×1043 \times 10^4\newline(B) 5×1045 \times 10^4\newline(C) 9×1049 \times 10^4\newline(D) 8×1048 \times 10^4
  1. Group Coefficients and Power Terms: We have the expression 2×1022 \times 10^2(44 \times 1010^22). First, we group the coefficients and power terms together.\newlineCoefficients: 22 and 44\newlinePower terms: 10210^2 and 10210^2
  2. Multiply Coefficients: Multiply the coefficients. What is 2×42 \times 4?\newline2×4=82 \times 4 = 8
  3. Combine Power Terms: Combine the power terms 102×10210^2 \times 10^2 as a single power of 1010. When multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.\newline102×10210^2 \times 10^2\newline=102+2= 10^{2 + 2}\newline=104= 10^4
  4. Write in Scientific Notation: We found:\newlineCoefficient = 88\newlinePower term = 10410^4\newlineWrite the final answer in scientific notation. Substitute 88 for the coefficient and 44 for the exponent in a×10ba \times 10^b.\newlineScientific notation: 8×1048 \times 10^4
