Answer: 9 x 10^4

Explanation:

9 ten thousands in standard form is written like this: 90,000

To convert this into scientific notation, we simply count how many spaces we want to move the decimal point.

So far, our number looks like this with a decimal point: 90000.0

To make this number equal to 9, we have to move the decimal point 4 spaces to the left.

The 4 then becomes our exponent.

So now we have 9 by itself, and all we do is multiply it by 10 with an exponent of 4, to show you are multiplying 10 four times.

Therefore, 9 ten thousands written in scientific notation is 9 x 10^4
