Final answer:

The correct scientific notation form of the numeral 1,263 is 1.263 ×
10^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To express the number 1,263 in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point so that the number becomes between 1 and 10.

Here are the options:

  1. 12.63 ×
    10^2
  2. 1.263 ×
    10^3
  3. 12.63 × 
    10^3
  4. 1.2 ×
    10^3

The correct answer is option (2) 1.263 ×
10^3. This is because we moved the decimal point three places to the left, resulting in a number between 1 and 10, and the exponent becomes positive.
