Question

Determine if the number 3.43x10^-6 is written in scientific notation. If not, explain

Answer 1

Yes, the number
`3.43\text {x} 10^(-6)` is in scientific notation.

Explanation:

Scientific Notation is another way to write really small or really large numbers

Instead of writing 700 you can write it in scientific notation as
`7\text{x}10^(2)`. It is always in powers of tens.

The number you have, if it wasn't in scientific notation would be
`.000000343`. Thats 6 zeroes which means its
`10^(-6)` times smaller than 3.43.

Answer 2

Yes, it is written in scientific notation

Explanation:

For a number to be in scientific notation, the first number must be between 1 and 10, and the base of the exponent must be 10
