Thankyou
9.00×10² is the correct answer...
9.0000×10^2
To express 900.00 in scientific notation, we need to represent it in the form of "a × 10^b", where "a" is a number between 1 and 10, and "b" is an integer.
Step 1: Determine the value of "a":
In this case, "a" can be found by moving the decimal point in 900.00 to the left until there is only one digit to the left of the decimal point. Count how many places you moved the decimal point, and the resulting number will be "a". In our case, moving the decimal point two places to the left gives us 9.00.
Step 2: Determine the value of "b":
The value of "b" represents the number of places the decimal point was moved in step 1. When moving the decimal point from 900.00 to 9.00, it was moved two places to the left. Therefore, "b" is equal to -2.
Step 3: Write the scientific notation:
Combining the values of "a" and "b" obtained, we can express 900.00 in scientific notation as 9.00 × 10^(-2).
