Question

Scientific notation for 1,360

Answer 1

We have a large numer and using scientfic notation is a great way to break down the number. So let's break it down!

1,000 x 1 = 1,000

3 x 100 = 300

6 x 10 = 60

3 x 1 = 3

So the form for scientific notation is a x 10b and we need to convert it into decial form.

1,360 becomes 1.36 (forget the 0) for a. 10 b is 103

1.36 x 103. Notation will always have a square. Our b.

10^3

SO, now we have

1.36 x 10^3 = 1,360

Answer 2

The scientific notation:

$a\cdot10^k$ where $1\leq a$

We have:

$1,360=1\underbrace{.360}_{\leftarrow3}\cdot10^3=\boxed{1.36\cdot10^3}$
