Question

Liam bought a computer and on the package it said that the processor speed was 3.4 GHz.

Which is the correct form in scientific notation?

Answer 1

Hello!

The answer is:
`3.4x10^(9)Hz`

Why?

Scientific notation is the way that we can write very large or very small number in a simplest way. We can write a number in scientific notation with numbers between 1 and 10, multipliyng it by a power of 10.

In example,

`1Ghz=1000^(3)Hz=1000000000Hz=1x10^(9)Hz`

So,

`3.4Ghz=34000000Hz=3.4x10^(9)Hz`

Have a nice day!
