<u>Solution:</u>
Before we begin solving, I suggest reviewing a rule about multiplying exponents.
<u>Rule about multiplying exponents:</u>
- Rule: If the base of a number is multiplied with the same base, the exponents will add.
Now, let's solve for the answer.
<u>Open the brackets of both expressions.</u>
- (2 x 10⁵) x (6 x 10⁸)
- 2 x 10⁵ x 6 x 10⁸)
<u>Simplify 2 x 10⁵ x 6 x 10⁸.</u>
<u>Add the exponents as per multiplying exponent rule</u>
- => 2 x 6 x (10⁵⁺⁸)
- => 12 x 10¹³
Hence, the answer is 12 x 10¹³.
