Question

The value twenty point twelve times ten raised to the power of eight should be written as:

20E12.8
20.12E8.0
20.12*10^8
20.1E8

Answer 1

20.12E8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value twenty point twelve times ten raised to the power of eight should be written as 20.12E8.

In order to write out the numerical equivalent of the word problem (strings), we would do the following;

Twenty point twelve = 20.12

Ten raised to the power of eight = E8

Note: E is the symbol for exponential and it simply means ten raised to the power of a numerical variable.

Therefore, E8 =
`10^(8)` = 1, 000,000,00.

Also, the last digit "8" shouldn't have a decimal point, else it becomes a floating point number.
