The product of the factors in the given expression comes to be [tex]7.35932 *10^{-3}[/tex].
The given expression is:
[tex](1.466*10^{-8} )(5.02*10^5)[/tex]
We can rewrite the given expression as
[tex](1.466*5.02)(10^{-8} *10^5)[/tex]
What is the exponent addition rule?
If we have two numbers with the same base we can write the product of the numbers as a single base followed by the addition of exponents.
[tex]a^m*a^n = a^{m+n}[/tex]
[tex]1.466*5.02=7.35932[/tex]
[tex]10^{-8} *10^5 = 10^{-3}[/tex]....from exponent addition rule
So, [tex](1.466*10^{-8} )(5.02*10^5)=7.35932 *10^{-3}[/tex]
Therefore, the product of the factors in the given expression comes to be [tex]7.35932 *10^{-3}[/tex].
