Since multiplication is commutative, you can change the order of the factors:

5.1 \times 10^3 \cdot 3.2 \times 10^3 = 5.1 \cdot 3.2 \times 10^3 \cdot 10^3

So, the numeric parti is simply

5.1 \cdot 3.2 = 16.32

For the powers of ten, use the rule a^b\cdot a^c=a^{b+c} to write

10^3 \cdot 10^3 = 10^{3+3} = 10^6

So, the answer is

16.32 \times 10^6

To write the answer is proper scientific notation, you can write it as

1.623 \times 10^7

So, answers A and B represent the same number, and they are both correct. If you need the answer to be written in rigorous scientific notation, then answer is B.

(5.1\cdot10^3)\cdot(3.2\cdot10^3)=5.1\cdot10^3\cdot3.2\cdot10^3\\\\\text{use commutative property}\ a \cdot b=b\cdot a\\\\=5.1\cdot3.2\cdot10^3\cdot10^3\\\\\text{use associative property}\ (a\cdot b)\cdot c=a\cdot(b\cdot c)\\\\=(5.1\cdot3.2)\cdot(10^3\cdot10^3)\\\\\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\=16.32\cdot10^{3+3}=\boxed{16.32\cdot10^6}\to\boxed{A.}

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

106.81

Step-by-step explanation:

  • radius = diameter / 2
  • radius = 34/2 = 17

now find circumference

  • circumference = 2πr
  • circumference = 2π(17) = 106.81

r = radius

A student is asked to factor, if possible, the given expression. The student's response demonstrates which common misconception?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The student assumed he was asked to factor

(a^2 - b^2)

Which is equal to

= (a+b)*(a-b)    (His response)

But, he was asked to simplify

(a^2 + b^2)

Which has imaginary roots, and can be factored as:

(b +ai)(b-ai)
