Recall the Power of a Product and the Power of a Power Properties.
8 * 10^(- 9)
We want to simplify the given expression and write the answer in scientific notation. To do so, we will apply the Power of a Product and the Power of a Power Properties.
(a * b)^m=a^m* b^m
(a^m)^n=a^(m* n)
Calculate power
Note that we do not want to continue multiplying or simplifying, because the simplified expression is now written in proper scientific notation.
