Scientific notation has the form:(4.4×10-19)(7.7×10-1) Multiply the 4.4 by the 7.7 getting 33.88 Add the exponents of 10, (-19)+(-1) getting -20 That gives 33.88×10-20 but that is not in scientific notation because 33.88 is not between 1 and 10. So we write it in scientific notation as 3.388×101 and substitute that for 33.88: (3.388×101)×10-20 3.388×101×10-20 finally add the exponents of 10, (1)+(-20) getting -19 3.388×10-19 Edwin
