Express the product of 0.00043 and 2000 in standard form.

  • A 8.6 x \(10^{-3}\)
  • B 8.3 x \(10^{-2}\)
  • C 8.6 x \(10^{-1}\)
  • D 8.6 x \(10^{1}\)

The correct answer is C. 8.6 x \(10^{-1}\)

The product of 0.00043 and 2000 can be calculated as follows:

0.00043 x 2000 = 0.86

To express this result in standard form, we can write it as:

0.86 = 8.6 x \(10^{-1}\)

So, the product of 0.00043 and 2000 expressed in standard form is 8.6 x \(10^{-1}\).
