Sagot :

Sure! Let's simplify the given expression [tex]\(\left(5 \times 10^7\right)\left(3 \times 10^{14}\right)\)[/tex] step-by-step:

1. Multiply the coefficients:
[tex]\[ 5 \times 3 = 15 \][/tex]

2. Multiply the powers of 10:
[tex]\[ 10^7 \times 10^{14} = 10^{7+14} = 10^{21} \][/tex]

3. Combine the results:
[tex]\[ (5 \times 3) \times (10^7 \times 10^{14}) = 15 \times 10^{21} \][/tex]

So, the simplified expression in scientific notation is:
[tex]\[ 15 \times 10^{21} \][/tex]

Thus, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{15 \times 10^{21}} \][/tex]
