Solution Steps

Step 1: Multiply the Coefficients

First, multiply the coefficients of the two numbers:

\[ 4.93 \times (-2.00) = -9.86 \]

Step 2: Add the Exponents

Next, add the exponents of the powers of 10:

\[ -5 + 14 = 9 \]

Step 3: Combine the Results

Combine the results from the previous steps to express the product in scientific notation:

\[ -9.86 \times 10^9 \]

Final Answer

The final answer in scientific notation is:

\[ \boxed{-9.86 \times 10^9} \]
