Answer: The best approximation of the speed of light would be 3.0\times10^8 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is a famous way to express a very large or a very small number as the product of a decimal form of number ( between 1 and 10) and powers of ten.

For example 1300000 can be written as 1.3\times10^6.

Given : The speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 meters per second.

Total digits = 9

Power of ten = 9-1=8

Now , the speed of light in a vacuum can be expressed as 2.99792458\times10^8  meters per second.

Since 2.99792458\approx3.0

So , the best approximation of the speed of light would be 3.0\times10^8 meters per second.

Hi! I hope this is correct please inform me if this is incorrect :)

a = 1 will have.

2a + 3 < 9 - 3a.  

2a + 3 > 10 -3a.  

3a - 2a + 1>2.

a = 2 will have

ANY others I did not include in a = 1 :)

Please once again tell me if this is incorrect.
