Answer: 5×10^4
Explanation:
scientific notation: a×10^b, where should be 0<a<10
Step 1. Count the zeros
There are in total 4 zeros in 50000, so we write the exponent as 10^4
Step 2. Look at the number left
The number left is 5, which technically should be the [a] in the expression. But first, we need to check whether or not is it in the proper range of [a].
0<5<10, is it true? YES
So the final expression should be 5×10^4
Hope this helps!! :)
