how do u write 5.98x10 to the 24 power in expanded notaion??
To write 5.98x10^24 in expanded notation, we need to multiply 5.98 by 10 raised to the power of 24.
Expanded notation breaks down a number into its individual place values. For 5.98x10^24, we can write it as:
5.98 x 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
In expanded notation, we move the decimal point 24 places to the right, resulting in a large number.
To write 5.98 x 10^24 in expanded notation, you need to understand what the exponent of 10 represents. In this case, 10^24 means you have to multiply 5.98 by 10, twenty-four times.
Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how to write it in expanded notation:
1. Start with the number 5.98.
2. Multiply it by 10:
5.98 x 10 = 59.8
3. Multiply the result from step 2 (59.8) by 10 again:
59.8 x 10 = 598
4. Repeat this process 22 more times until you reach 10^24:
598 x 10 = 5,980
5,980 x 10 = 59,800
...
(continue multiplying by 10 until you have multiplied by 10 twenty-four times)
5. Finally, when you've multiplied by 10 twenty-four times, you will have the expanded notation of 5.98 x 10^24:
5.98 x 10^24 = 598,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
So, in expanded notation, 5.98 x 10^24 is equal to 598,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
HELP ME!
It would be totally impractical to write it in expanded form, but here it is
5.98x1024
= 5980000000000000000000000
rather silly isn't it?
That is why scientific notation was invented.
