Question

ne from the Sun is 2.8 billion miles. Express the distance between Mercury and Neptune in scientific notation d = 9,275,200[3(2n − 2) + 4]

Answer 1

The average distance between Mercury and Neptune in scientific notation would be approximately
`\(4.84 * 10^9\)` miles.

The distance between Mercury and Neptune

This scientific notation is a way to represent large or small numbers more conveniently. The 4.84 part represents the number before the decimal point, and '10⁹ indicates that the decimal point is moved nine places to the right. Essentially, it means the number is multiplied by 10 nine times.

In this case, it shows that the actual distance between Mercury and Neptune is around 4.84 billion miles.
