Question

Write 3,200 in scientific notation

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 3.2 E 3 or 3.2 x 10^3

You move back 3 spaces which is 3.2, since you moved back 3 spaces, you put 3 as the power/exponet.

To be more satisfied, 3.2 is your base number, it is the big number Below the power/exponent. The power/exponent is 3, you moved 3 spaces and you moved to the left, so it is represented as a positive power/exponent.

Hope this helps.
