<h3>To find the product of 42.12 and 10^3, move the decimal point in 42.12 3 places to the right because 10^3 has 3 zeros</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Which means,
Here, the exponent of 10 is positive ( which is 3)
When the exponent is positive, we have to move the decimal point to right
When you multiply a number by a power of 10, ( 10!, 10^2, and so on ) move the decimal point of the number to the right the same number of places as the number of zeros in the power of 10
Here, exponent is 3 , therefore move the decimal point right 3 places in 42.12
Therefore,
