In 1968, the estimated population of the world was 3,559,028,982 people. When this number is written in expanded form using exponents, one power of 10 would not be represented. Which power of 10? Why?
Bryan,
Look at the number carefully. Which digit is not considered a number in an exponent?
0 right?
Count from the right, starting with one at the 8 and you will have your power that is not represented.
If this confuses you let me know.
2 because
Idk this please help Bryan you make no sense
I’m confused

To find out which power of 10 is not represented when the estimated population of the world in 1968 (3,559,028,982 people) is written in expanded form using exponents, we need to determine the largest power of 10 that is smaller than the given number.
First, we need to determine the number of digits in the given number. The given number has 10 digits (3,559,028,982).
Next, we need to know that when a number is written in expanded form using exponents, it is represented as the summation of the product of each digit and its corresponding power of 10.
In our case, the largest power of 10 will have a digit in the billions place because it is the leftmost digit, and the first digit is not zero.
Therefore, we can conclude that the power of 10 that is not represented in the expanded form is the power of 10 corresponding to the billions place, which is 10^9 (1,000,000,000).
The reason for this is that the given number (3,559,028,982) is less than 10^9 but more significant than any power of 10 below it.
