Question

Given that a = 4.8 × 104 and that b = 8 × 10−3

Answer 1

Answer:

3.84 * 10^0

Step-by-step explanation

Given the following values;

a = 4.8 × 104 and that b = 8 × 10−3

We are to find the product ab

ab = (4.8 × 10^4)(8 × 10^−3)

ab = (4.8*8)(10^4 * 10^-3)

ab = 38.4 * 10^(4-3)

ab = 38.4 * 10^-1

ab = 3.84 * 10 * 10^-1

ab = 3.84* 10^0

Hence the product in standard form is expressed as 3.84 * 10^0
