What is 6.3 x 10 to the 4th power converted to scientific notation
That is scientific notation for that number.
6.3E4 or 6.3 x 10^4
You should pay attention to if your question is already your answer or not!!!!! ;( ;(
That's already scientific notation!! You had your answer and you didn't even know it!!
To convert a number to scientific notation, follow these steps:
1. Determine the decimal point's position in the original number. In this case, the original number is 6.3.
2. Move the decimal point to the right or left, so that only one non-zero digit remains to the left of it. Here, we will move the decimal point to the right until we have 6.3 as 63, which means moving it one position to the right.
3. Count the number of positions the decimal point moved. In this case, the decimal point moved one position to the right.
4. Rewrite the number in the form of a decimal multiplied by a power of 10. The decimal part is the number obtained after moving the decimal point earlier (63), and the power of 10 is equal to the number of positions the decimal point moved (1).
So, 6.3 x 10 to the 4th power in scientific notation is written as:
6.3 x 10^1
Note: The final power of 10 (1) will be adjusted accordingly to take into account the original exponent (10 to the 4th power).
