what is the scientfic notation of35,000and982,000,000
1st tell us what you think it is
3.5x10 to the 3rd
9.82x10 to the 6th
3.5x10 to the 4th
9.82x10 to the 8th
To write these numbers in scientific notation, we need to express them in the form of "a × 10^b," where "a" is a number greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10, and "b" represents the power of 10.
1. 35,000:
We can start by moving the decimal point to the left until we have a number between 1 and 10. In this case, we will need to move the decimal point 4 places to the left:
35,000 = 3.5 × 10^4
So, the scientific notation of 35,000 is 3.5 × 10^4.
2. 982,000,000:
Similar to the previous step, we will move the decimal point to the left until we get a number between 1 and 10. Now, we need to move the decimal point 8 places to the left:
982,000,000 = 9.82 × 10^8
Hence, the scientific notation of 982,000,000 is 9.82 × 10^8.
