8.19*10^-2

Explanation:

(9.75 * 10^3)*(8.4 * 10^-6)

First, let's regroup the factors,

=> (9.75 * 8.4)(10^3*10^-6)

We can now proceed with multiplication

=> (81.9)*(10^-3)

Now let's transform this to scientific notation.

=> (8.19 * 10)(10^-3)

=> 8.19*(10*10^-3)

=> 8.19*(10^1*10^-3)

=> 8.19*(10^-2)
