Thank you for your help.
Don't worry, I can help you understand how to write a googol in scientific notation!
Scientific notation is a way of writing very large or very small numbers using powers of ten. It is written in the form of "a × 10^b", where "a" is a number between 1 and 10, and "b" is the exponent.
To express a googol in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point 100 places to the right, because a googol is a number written with a 1 followed by 100 zeros.
Since the decimal point is currently after the 1, we need to move it 100 places to the right. This means the exponent will be 100.
Therefore, a googol in scientific notation is written as:
1 × 10^100
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to write a googol in scientific notation! Let me know if you have any further questions.
