how would i write this in scientific

notation 14,718? how would i write this in standard notation 1.98 x 10 to the second power

14,718 could be rewritten as 1.4718*10^4, which is read as "1.4718 times 10 to the fourth power." (The asterisk is often used as the multiplcation sign, so it doesn't get mixed up with "x" used as an unknown.)

1.98*10^2 = 1.98*100 = 198.

I searched Google under the key words "math scientific notation" to get these possible sources:

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

To write 14,718 in scientific notation, you need to move the decimal point to the left so that there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. Count the number of places you moved the decimal point and use that as the exponent of 10. In this case, you would move the decimal point 4 places to the left, so the scientific notation of 14,718 is 1.4718 x 10^4.

To write 1.98 x 10^2 in standard notation, you need to multiply the number in front of the "x" by 10 raised to the power of the exponent. In this case, you would multiply 1.98 by 10^2, which is equivalent to multiplying 1.98 by 100. The result is 198.

So, the scientific notation 14,718 can be written as 1.4718 x 10^4, and the standard notation 1.98 x 10^2 is simply 198.

To write the number 14,718 in scientific notation, follow these steps:

1. Count the number of digits after the decimal point.
In this case, there are no digits after the decimal point.

2. Move the decimal point to after the first non-zero digit.
Starting from the left, the first non-zero digit is 1. Move the decimal point 4 places to the left to get 1.4718.

3. Write the number in the form of "a × 10^n".
The value of a is the number obtained after moving the decimal point, which is 1.4718.
The value of n is the number of places the decimal point was moved. Since it was moved 4 places to the left, n is 4.

Combine these values to write the number in scientific notation:
14,718 = 1.4718 × 10^4

To write the number 1.98 × 10^2 in standard notation, follow these steps:

1. Multiply the value of "a" (1.98) by 10 raised to the power of "n" (2).
1.98 × 10^2 = 1.98 × 100 = 198

Therefore, 1.98 × 10^2 is equivalent to 198 in standard notation.
