Question

Very large and very small numbers are easier to write in scientific notation. for example, the number, 69200 would be written 6.92 104 in scientific notation. how would you enter this number in webassign using scientific notation to 3 significant figures? (webassign uses e-notation for entering scientific numbers, for example, 1.23e-4.)

Answer 1

To enter 69,200 in scientific notation on WebAssign, the e-notation expression would be 6.92e4, maintaining three significant figures.

Step-by-step explanation:

To express the number 69,200 in scientific notation on the WebAssign platform, first put the number in the format of a number between 1 and 10 followed by a power of 10. The number 69,200 would be written as 6.92 × 10⁴ because the decimal has been moved 4 places to the left. In WebAssign's e-notation, which is commonly used in scientific and engineering fields for ease of data entry and reading, the expression would be written as 6.92e4 to maintain three significant figures.

Answer 2

69200 in scientific notation using E instead of 10^ , 69200= 6.92* E^4
