Question

What is 98.704 in expanded using powers of ten

Answer 1

`9.8704 * 10^1`

Explanation:

The standard form is called the scientific notation expressed generally as;

`A * 10^n`

A is an integer between 1 and 10

n is ant integer or fraction

Given the decimal value 98.704, we ill shift the decimal point to the back once to have;

98.704 =
`9.8704 * 10^1`

Note the when the decimal point is shifted backwards the value of n is always positive. Hence the expansion in power of 10 is
`9.8704 * 10^1`
