Convert to Scientific Notation (7.710^8)(4.9*10^-5)

$(7.7 \cdot 10^{8}) \cdot (4.9 \cdot 10^{- 5})$

Step 1

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the $10$ . If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.
