Calculating (4x10^5)x(2x10^9) in Standard Form
In this article, we will evaluate the product of (4x10^5) and (2x10^9) and express the result in standard form.
The Given Expression
The given expression is:
(4x10^5)x(2x10^9)
Evaluating the Expression
To evaluate this expression, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS):
- Multiply the coefficients: 4 × 2 = 8
- Multiply the powers of 10: 10^5 × 10^9 = 10^(5+9) = 10^14
So, the product is:
8 × 10^14
Expressing the Result in Standard Form
In standard form, the number is written as a product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10. Therefore, we can rewrite the result as:
8 × 10^14 = 8.0 × 10^14
This is the result of (4x10^5)x(2x10^9) in standard form.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the product of (4x10^5) and (2x10^9) is 8 × 10^14, which can be expressed in standard form as 8.0 × 10^14.
