Q. Multiply.\newline(2×104)(3×105)(2 \times 10^4)(3 \times 10^5)\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 8×1098 \times 10^9\newline(B) 4×1094 \times 10^9\newline(C) 3×1093 \times 10^9\newline(D) 6×1096 \times 10^9
  1. Group Coefficients and Powers: We have the expression 2×1042 \times 10^43×1053 \times 10^5. First, we group the coefficients 22 and 33 and the power terms 10410^4 and 10510^5 together.
  2. Multiply Coefficients: Multiply the coefficients. We calculate 2×32 \times 3 to get the new coefficient.\newline2×3=62 \times 3 = 6
  3. Combine Power Terms: Combine the power terms by adding the exponents, since the base is the same 1010. We use the rule 10m×10n=10(m+n)10^m \times 10^n = 10^{(m+n)}.\newline104×105=10(4+5)=10910^4 \times 10^5 = 10^{(4 + 5)} = 10^9
  4. Write in Scientific Notation: We now have the new coefficient 66 and the combined power term 10910^9. We write the final answer in scientific notation by combining these two results.\newlineScientific notation: 6×1096 \times 10^9
