Answer:
3.1232×10⁶
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the product of 1.952×10⁴ and 1.6×10².
Product
The product of numbers in scientific notation is found by multiplying in the usual way.
If the product of coefficients is between 1 and 10, as it is here, then no adjustment is needed to the power of 10 that results from multiplying those factors.
(1.952×10⁴)(1.6×10²) = (1.952)(1.6) × (10⁴)(10²) = 3.1232 × 10⁴⁺²
= 3.1232×10⁶

Additional comment
The rules for exponents apply. (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c).
Your calculator or spreadsheet can format the product in scientific notation for you.
