Question

How many places do you need to move the decimal to the left to write the number below in scientific notation?

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 1.3*10¹

B)7*10⁰ - Actually I am not very sure if it is required to write 10⁰. I normally don't write 10⁰ (When I solve problems in physics if the answer for example is 7 I just write 7 not 7*10⁰). But if you check on Google 10⁰ has been mentioned

C)1.4*10¹

D)1.2*10¹

Step-by-step explanation:

For any number when you express it in a scientific notation, You should make sure that the number (for example : X) X which is going to be multiplied with a power of 10 (for example:10³,10⁴10¹⁰ etc), X should be between 1 and 10

This might sound very complicated so I can give you an example to simplify

Let's take 1.3*10¹

In this case X is 1.3

This means X*10¹

The number X is being multiplied with the power of 10(example:10¹,10²,10⁰,10⁹ ,etc) .In the above case X is being multiplied with 10¹.

Now this number X should be between 1 and 10.(Including 1)

Scientific notation= X*power of 10

where x>=1 & x<10

That is the explanation
