To express the product of 8.9 × 10² and 5.1 × 10⁴ in scientific notation, we need to multiply the two numbers together and adjust the exponent accordingly.
Step 1: Multiply the decimal parts: 8.9 × 5.1 = 45.39
Step 2: Multiply the powers of 10: 10² × 10⁴ = 10⁶
Step 3: Combine the two results: 45.39 × 10⁶
Therefore, the product of 8.9 × 10² and 5.1 × 10⁴ expressed in scientific notation is 4.539 × 10⁷.

To get the product of 8.9×10^2 and 5.1×10^4, we need to multiply the two numbers together.
First, multiply the two decimal parts: 8.9 × 5.1 = 45.39.
Then, add the exponents of the powers of 10: 10^2 × 10^4 = 10^(2+4) = 10^6.
Now we have the product as 45.39 × 10^6.
To express this in scientific notation, we need to write the decimal part as a number between 1 and 10, and the exponent as a power of 10.
Since 45.39 is already between 1 and 10, we can simply write it as 4.539.
The exponent is 6, so we express it as 10^6.
Combining these, the product of 8.9×10^2 and 5.1×10^4 expressed in scientific notation is 4.539×10^6.
