Convert 7,200,000 to scientific notation as follows:

Move the (implied) decimal point until it is immediately after the first nonzero digit (the 7). This required moving the point six units to the left:

$7,200,000. \Rightarrow 7.200000$

It follows that 7,200,000 can be rewritten as $7.2 \times $10^{6}$$ .

By similar reasoning, 5,000,000 can be rewritten as $5 \times $10^{6}$$ .

Thus,

$7,200,000 \times 5,000,000$

$= (7.2\times 10 ^{6} )\times (5 \times $10^{6}$ )$

Rearrange and regroup the expressions so that the powers of ten are together:

$= (7.2\times 5) \times (10 ^{6} \times $10^{6}$ )$

Multiply the numbers in front. Also, multiply the powers of ten by adding exponents:

$= 36 \times 10 ^{6+6}$

$= 36 \times 10 ^{12}$

In order for the number to be in scientific notation, the number in front must be between 1 and 10. An adjustment must be made by moving the implied decimal point in 36 one unit left. It follows that

$36 = 3.6 \times $10^{1}$$

Therefore,

$36 \times 10 ^{12} = (3.6 \times $10^{1}$) \times 10 ^{12}$

$= 3.6 \times $10^{1+12}$$

$= 3.6 \times $10^{13}$$ ,

the correct response.

Scientific notation refers to a number expressed in the form

$\pm a \times $10^{N}$$ ,

where $1 \le a < 10$ and is an integer.

Each factor can be rewritten in scientific notation as follows:

$5,000,000 = 5 \times 1,000,000 = 5 \times $10^{6}$$

$120,000,000 = 1.2 \times 100,000,000 = 1.2 \times $10^{8}$$

Now, substitute:

$5,000,000 \times 120,000,000$

$= 5 \times $10^{6}$ \times 1.2 \times $10^{8}$$

$=( 5\times 1.2) \times $(10^{6}$ \times $10^{8}$)$

$= 6 \times $10^{6}$ \times $10^{8}$$

Apply the Product of Powers Property:

$= 6 \times $10^{6+8}$$

$= 6 \times $10^{14}$$

This is in scientific notation and is the correct choice.
