Answer 1

its false my gamer

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\bf 32*10^7`

Explanation:

Scientific notation was designed to write numbers which have too many zeroes either to the left or to the right.

For example

`\bf 0.00000021 = 2.1*10^(-7)`

The negative sign of the exponent means that you have to move the decimal point 7 places to the left and replace the space with a “0” to get the original number.

`\bf 42,000,000,000 = 42*10^(9)`

The positive sign of the exponent means that you have to move the decimal point 9 places to the right and replace the space with a “0” to get the original number.

In this case, our number is 320 million:

320,000,000

and we can see this is equals to

`\bf 32*10^7`
