Question

What is the proper scientific notation for 1234? O 1.234x103 O 0.1234x104 O 1.234x102 O 12.34x102

Answer 1

`1.234 x 10^(3)`

Step-by-step explanation:

In scientific notation you are writing big or small numbers with the form:

m x 10^n

First you write the digits with the decimal point after the first digit, in this case: 1.234 (m)

Then you write x 10 to a power that will say how many places to move the decimal point. In this case we need to move it 3 times. (n)

The proper scientific notation is
`1.234 x 10^(3)`
