9,085,000,000,000 written in scientific notation is 9.085 x 10^12.
To convert a number to scientific notation, we first need to move the decimal point until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. In this case, we need to move the decimal point 12 places to the left to obtain 9.085.
Next, we count the number of places we moved the decimal point, which is 12. This will be our exponent of 10.
Therefore, 9,085,000,000,000 in scientific notation is 9.085 x 10^12.
To write 9,085,000,000,000 in scientific notation, follow these steps:
1. Start by moving the decimal point to the right of the first non-zero digit. In this number, it would be after the 9. So the number becomes 9.08500000000.
2. Next, count the number of places you moved the decimal point. In this case, you moved it 12 places to the right.
3. Now, write the number you obtained in step 1, multiplied by 10 raised to the power of the number of places you moved the decimal point.
So, 9,085,000,000,000 in scientific notation is written as 9.085 x 10^12.
To express 9,085,000,000,000 in scientific notation, we need to represent it as a number multiplied by a power of 10. Here's how to do it:
1. Start by counting the number of decimal places from the original number until you reach the first nonzero digit. In this case, the first nonzero digit is 9, so there are zero decimal places.
2. Next, move the decimal point in the original number to the right until it is right after the first nonzero digit. In this case, the decimal point is already after the 9, so we don't need to move it.
3. Count the number of places you moved the decimal point. Since we didn't move the decimal point, the count is 0.
4. Finally, write the number with the decimal point after the first digit and multiply it by 10 raised to the power of the count from the previous step. In this case, the number is 9.085, and the count is 0. Therefore, the scientific notation is:
9.085 × 10^0
