Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (2.610^2)(3.410^-5)

$(2.6 \cdot 10^{2}) (3.4 \cdot 10^{- 5})$

Step 1

Multiply $2.6$ by $3.4$ .

$8.84 (10^{2} \cdot 10^{- 5})$

Step 2

Multiply $10^{2}$ by $10^{- 5}$ by adding the exponents.

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$8.84 \cdot 10^{2 - 5}$

Subtract $5$ from $2$ .

$8.84 \cdot 10^{- 3}$
