Question

Convert from Decimal Notation to Scientific Notation

In the following exercises, write each number in scientific notation.
553. 1,290,000

Answer 1

Hence, 12,90,000 can be expressed as
`$1.29 * 10^(6)$`.

Explanation:

- Given 12,90,000

- Use given, move the decimal point so that first factor is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10 .

- Then count n and write in scientific notation.

Step 1 of 1

Consider 12,90,000

1.29

So, 1.29 lies between 1 & 10.

Now, Decimal moved to 6 places at left.

`$1.29 * 10^(6)$`

So,
`$12,90,000=1 \cdot 29 * 10^(6)$`.
