Answer 1

`4.264*10^(6)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello !

The correct answer is option C)
`4.264*10^(6)`

To write in scientific notation, numbers between 0 and 9 are used before the point and the rest of the numbers afterwards.

Then we count how many places we ran the point. If you run to the right, the exponent of 10 is positive and if you run to the left, it is negative.

This way it is
`4.264*10^(6)`
