Which of the following shows the product represented in scientific notation? (5.6 x 10⁴)(4.3 x 10⁷)
- A.
  
  24.08 x 10¹¹
- B.

- D.
  
  2.408 x 10¹¹
Correct Answer
C. 2.408 x 10¹²

Explanation
The product of (5.6 x 10^4) and (4.3 x 10^7) is equal to 24.08 x 10^11. However, none of the answer choices match this value. Therefore, the correct answer is not available.

Which of the following represents the quotient in scientific notation? 2 x 10⁷ 8 x 10⁴
- A.
  
  .25 x 10³
- B.
  
  .25 x 10^-3
- C.
  
  2.5 x 10²
- D.
  
  2.5 x 10⁴
Correct Answer
C. 2.5 x 10²

Explanation
The given answer, 2.5 x 102, represents the quotient in scientific notation. In scientific notation, a number is written as a product of a decimal number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10. In this case, 2.5 is the decimal number between 1 and 10, and 102 is the power of 10. Therefore, 2.5 x 102 is the correct representation of the quotient in scientific notation.

Which of the following represents the product in scientific notation?(3.1 x 10^-7)(5.8 x 10^-6)
- A.
  
  17.98 x 10¹³
- B.
  
  17.98 x 10^-13
- C.
  
  1.798 x 10^-12
- D.
  
  1.798 x 10^-14
Correct Answer
C. 1.798 x 10^-12

Explanation
When multiplying numbers in scientific notation, you multiply the coefficients and add the exponents. In this case, (3.1 x 10-7)(5.8 x 10-6) equals 17.98 x 10-13. However, in scientific notation, the coefficient should be between 1 and 10. Therefore, 17.98 x 10-13 can be written as 1.798 x 10-12, which is the correct answer.
