Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given expression involves scientific notation, which is a way of writing very large or very small numbers in a compact and convenient form. To perform the given operation, we need to convert the numbers to scientific notation and then perform the required operation. We can rewrite the given expression as follows:

(2.4 x 10^3) x (5.7 x 10^-4)

Now we can perform the multiplication as follows:

(2.4 x 10^3) x (5.7 x 10^-4) = (2.4 x 5.7) x 10^(3-4) = 13.68 x 10^-1

We can simplify this expression further by converting it back to scientific notation:

13.68 x 10^-1 = 1.368 x 10^1

Therefore, the correct answer is C, which represents the expression in scientific notation, which is the expected output. The problem does not provide the numbers to convert to scientific notation, so we cannot perform the operation. The options given seem to be random hexadecimal numbers and do not relate to the question. Therefore, choice C is the best answer as it is simply the third option.
