Write each number in scientific notation:
1) 15.01
ans. Is it 15.01 x 10 minus to the power of 2?? Am i wrong?
Yes, you are wrong.
1.501*10^1 would be one way to write it in scientific notation. There are others, such as 0.1501*10^2.
You are almost correct! In scientific notation, we express a number as a product of a number between 1 and 10 (the coefficient) and a power of 10.
For the number 15.01, we move the decimal point two places to the left to get a coefficient between 1 and 10. So, it becomes 1.501.
Now, we can express it in scientific notation as 1.501 x 10^2 (or 1.501e2).
