Question

The magnitude of a ra representation of a number as the product of a number that is greater than or equal to 1 but less than

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Scientific Notation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number in question is greater than or equal to 1 but less than

10, we can choose any number between 1 and 10, lets take 3 for example.

If we take the product of 3 and an integer power of 10 number without regard to its sign, this can be expressed mathematically as shown;

$3 * 10^{-5}$ where the power of 10 is -5. Note that any  real number can be used as the power since we are not regarding the sign (Here we used -5). The expression formed according to the expression in question is a SCIENTIFIC NOTATION i.e $3 * 10^{-5}$ gives us a scientific notation.

Scientific notation is a means by which we represent very large or small numbers that are difficult to represent using a decimal notation
