Scientic notation


1.52994\text{ }*10^4

Rounding off;


1.53\text{ }*10^4

Here, we want to write the given number in a scientific notation after which we round to two digits after the decimal.

To write the number in scientific notation means to write in standard form which in essence means in powers of 10

To do this, we move the decimal point to the back of the first non-zero digit

The first non-zero digit here is 1. Moving the decimal, we shall do this four times

This mean that our notation will be;


1.52994\text{ }*10^4

Rounding this to two digits after the decimal, we have;


1.53\text{ }*10^4
