Write 4500000 in scientific notation.Example: = 5.6x10^4 No spaces necessary.

Explanation
The given number, 4500000, can be expressed in scientific notation as 4.5x10^6. In scientific notation, the first part of the number should be between 1 and 10, so we divide 4500000 by 10^6 to get 4.5. The exponent, 6, indicates that we need to move the decimal point 6 places to the right to get the original number. Therefore, the number 4500000 can be written as 4.5x10^6 in scientific notation.
