Question

There are 2000 pounds in a ton how can you write 2000 with and exponent

Answer 1

Answer:

The exponent form of 2000 is 2×10³.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided number 2000 .

The number can be written as:

2000=2×10×10×10

$a^n$ means that multiply a by itself n times.

Now consider the number 2×10×10×10

Here 10 multiply by itself 3 times.

Thus by the above rule we can rewrite 10×10×10 as 10³.

Therefore the number 2000 can be written as:

2×10³

Hence, the exponent form of 2000 is 2×10³.

Answer 2

In scientific notation, it would be 2x10^3.
An easy trick to help remember when it is a multiple of 10 is that you do the numbers that aren't zero (2) times 10 and the exponent is how ever many zeros there are after the other numbers (3).
