Use scientific notation to determine which of these numbers is greater: 34,835,760 or 43,835,760. Write your answer in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place. (1 point)
To express these numbers in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point so that there is one digit to the left of it and multiply by the appropriate power of 10.
34,835,760 can be expressed as 3.4835760 x 10^7.
43,835,760 can be expressed as 4.3835760 x 10^7.
Comparing the two numbers, we can see that the power of 10 is the same (7) and the only difference is in the digits to the left of the decimal point. In this case, the number with the larger digit to the left of the decimal point is greater.
Therefore, 43,835,760 is greater than 34,835,760 in scientific notation.
so what do i write my answer as
Your answer can be written as:
43,835,760 > 34,835,760 in scientific notation: 4.3835760 x 10^7 > 3.4835760 x 10^7
wrong
Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correct it. The correct answer is:
34,835,760 can be expressed as 3.4835760 x 10^7.
43,835,760 can be expressed as 4.3835760 x 10^7.
Comparing the two numbers, we can see that the power of 10 is the same (7) and the only difference is in the digits to the left of the decimal point. In this case, the number with the larger digit to the left of the decimal point is greater.
Therefore, 43,835,760 is greater than 34,835,760 in scientific notation.
In scientific notation, the answer is: 4.3835760 x 10^7.
Use scientific notation to determine which of these numbers has the least value: 123,893, 31,892, or 12,786. Write your answer in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place. (1 point)
To determine which of these numbers has the least value using scientific notation, we need to express each number in scientific notation.
123,893 = 1.23893 x 10^5
31,892 = 3.1892 x 10^4
12,786 = 1.2786 x 10^4
Comparing the numbers in scientific notation, we can see that the powers of 10 are different. The higher the power of 10, the larger the value.
Therefore, the number with the least value is 1.2786 x 10^4 or 12,786.
no
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.
To determine which of these numbers has the least value using scientific notation, we need to express each number in scientific notation.
123,893 = 1.23893 x 10^5
31,892 = 3.1892 x 10^4
12,786 = 1.2786 x 10^4
Comparing the numbers in scientific notation, we can see that the powers of 10 are the same, but the digits to the left of the decimal point are different. In this case, the number with the smallest digit to the left of the decimal point represents the least value.
Therefore, the number with the least value is 1.2786 x 10^4 or 12,786.
