Question

The expression 3.14 x 103 is scientific notation for which of the following values? 314 3,140 31,400 314,000

Answer 1

3,140

Explanation:

3.14 x 10^3

The notation is solved by moving the decimal point 3 places to the right being the number of times 10 is raised.

After moving twice, the point will be right in front of 4, making the number 314.0

As such the 3rd movement of the point to the right makes the number 3140

Hence,

3.14 x 10^3 = 3,140

Answer 2

The answer is 3,140. If we evaluate 3.14 x 103 in scientific notation, we can rewrite it as 3.14 x 1000. 103 = 10^3 = 1000. Multiplying 3.14 by 1000, we will have 3,140.
