Answer: 8.1e+2 or 8.1E+2 (in the scientific notation mode), based on that the number given is 8.1 × 10².

Step-by-step explanation


Scientific calculators use the letter e or E to show the numbers in scientific notation mode.

These are some examples of numbers that require scientific notation and how they are shown.

Number Scientific calculator display

6.022 × 10²³ 6.022 e+23
5 × 10 -12 5 E -12

So, understanding that your question is about number 8.1 × 10², the scientific calculator could show 8e+2.

Nevertheless, since 8 .1 × 10² is 810, not a long number, if the display is not in scientific notation mode, it could just display just 810,
