Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (3.410^2)(1.510^-5)

$(3.4 \cdot 10^{2}) (1.5 \cdot 10^{- 5})$

Step 1

Multiply $3.4$ by $1.5$ .

$5.1 (10^{2} \cdot 10^{- 5})$

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.

$5.1 \cdot 10^{2 - 5}$

Subtract $5$ from $2$ .

$5.1 \cdot 10^{- 3}$
