Write the number 4500000 in scientific notation.
- A.
4.5 e6
- B.
45 e5
- C.
4.5 e-6
- D.
45,000
Correct Answer
A. 4.5 e6Explanation
The correct answer is 4.5 e6 because scientific notation is used to represent very large or very small numbers. In this case, 4500000 is written as 4.5 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 6. This means that the decimal point is moved 6 places to the right, resulting in a number that is 4.5 million.Rate this question:

Check ALL the following that are correctly in scientific notation:
- A.
93 x 10^2
- B.
0.93 x 10^2
- C.
9.3 x 10^2
- D.
4 x 10^13
- E.
9.4 x 10^-12
Correct Answer(s)
C. 9.3 x 10^2
D. 4 x 10^13
E. 9.4 x 10^-12Explanation
The given answer correctly identifies the numbers that are written in scientific notation. Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers as a product of a decimal number between 1 and 10, and a power of 10. In the answer, 9.3 x 10^2, 4 x 10^13, and 9.4 x 10^-12 are all written in this format. The other options, 93 x 10^2 and 0.93 x 10^2, are not in scientific notation because the decimal number is not between 1 and 10.Rate this question:

Which number is smaller? 9.34e-4 or 3.2e-3
- A.
9.34e-4
- B.
3.2e-3
Correct Answer
A. 9.34e-4Explanation
The given question asks which number is smaller between 9.34e-4 and 3.2e-3. In scientific notation, both numbers are written in the form of a decimal multiplied by a power of 10. To compare the two numbers, we can ignore the power of 10 and focus on the decimal part. In this case, 9.34e-4 has a smaller decimal value compared to 3.2e-3. Therefore, 9.34e-4 is the smaller number.Rate this question:
