Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (310^9)(2*10^17)

$(3 \cdot 10^{9}) \cdot (2 \cdot 10^{17})$

Step 1

Multiply $3$ by $2$ .

$6 (10^{9} \cdot 10^{17})$

Step 2

Multiply $10^{9}$ by $10^{17}$ by adding the exponents.

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

$6 \cdot 10^{9 + 17}$

Add $9$ and $17$ .

$6 \cdot 10^{26}$
