Question

Identify the coefficient and exponent of these very large and very small numbers represented in scientific notation. Identify how each number would be represented in scientific notation. 5,890,000 = a × 10b a = b = 0.0000521 = c × 10d c = d =

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Scientific notation is a way in which real numbers both big and small are represented in decimal form. It is represented by dividing the number into two parts in the form of a × $10^b$, where 1 ≤ |a| ≤ 10 and  b is to the power of ten which makes it equal to the original number.

$1)\ 5890000=a*10^b=5.89*10^6\\\\hence,a=5.89,b=6\\\\2)\ 0.0000521=c*10^d=5.21*10^{-5}\\\\hence,c=5.21,d=-5$
