1 x 10^5

Answer 2

what did you do with the coefficients

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

I multiplied the coefficients together: 5 x 2 = 10. Then I added the exponents together: 6 + (-2) = 4. Therefore, the simplified expression in scientific notation is 1 x 10^4.

Answer 4

did you change the exponent for Scientific Notation

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Apologies for the mistake in my previous responses. Let's correct it:

(5 x 10^6) x (2 x 10^-2)

First, we multiply the coefficients: 5 x 2 = 10
Then, we add the exponents: 6 + (-2) = 4

Therefore, the simplified expression in scientific notation is:
10 x 10^4 = 1 x 10^5
