For example 0.000052 can be written as 5.2 &#61620; 10-5. A) Use scientific notation and the laws of exponents to evaluate (0.000054)(0.00000033)(0.013). Leave your answer in scientific notation. B) If a space probe travels at 12 kilometers per second for 10 years, how far will it travel? Write your answer in scientific notation. (Assume 1 year = 365 days) </SPAN>\n" );
