Q. Multiply.\newline(3×102)(2×101)(3 \times 10^2)(2 \times 10^1)\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 6×1096 \times 10^9\newline(B) 6×1036 \times 10^3\newline(C) 6×1086 \times 10^8\newline(D) 6×1066 \times 10^6
  1. Group Terms: We have the expression 3×1023 \times 10^2(22 \times 1010^11\). First, we need to group the coefficients and the power terms together.\newlineCoefficients: 33 and 22\newlinePower terms: 10210^2 and 10110^1
  2. Multiply Coefficients: Multiply the coefficients together. What is 3×23 \times 2?\newline3×2=63 \times 2 = 6
  3. Combine Power Terms: Combine the power terms 102×10110^2 \times 10^1 into a single power of 1010. When multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.\newline102×101=102+1=10310^2 \times 10^1 = 10^{2 + 1} = 10^3
  4. Final Scientific Notation: We have found:\newlineCoefficient = 66\newlinePower term = 10310^3\newlineNow, write the final answer in scientific notation by combining the coefficient and the power term.\newlineScientific notation: 6×1036 \times 10^3
