Answer:

The scientific notation is
1.7* 10^(10).

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

We need to express 17 billion in scientific notation.

17 billion is: 17,000,000,000

We split the given number into a coefficient and a power of 10.

Move the decimal point of the given number till the coefficient of the given number is greater than 1 and less than 10 and write the power of 10 equal to the number of steps the decimal point was moved.

17 billion in scientific notation =
1.7* 10^(10).

Hence, the required answer is
1.7* 10^(10).
