Question

Express each number in scientific notitatio 43,000= 0.0072= 0.0000901=

Answer 1

Answer:

43,000: 4.3×10^4

0.0072: 7.2×10^-3

0.0000901: 9.01×10^-5

Step-by-step explanation:

scientific notation: a×10^b, where should be 0<a<10

Step 1. Count the zeros

Step 2. Look at the number left, and determine whether or not it fits in the range of [a]. If not, we divide or multiply 10 to get it fit

------------------------

43,000: 4.3×10^4 (since 43 does not fit, we divide by 10 to get it fit)

0.0072: 7.2×10^-3 (since 0.72 does not fit, we multiply 10 to get it fit)

0.0000901: 9.01×10^-5 (since 0.901 does not fit, we multiply 10 to get it fit)

Hope this helps!! :)
