Converting the number5250 to Scientific Notation5.250 x 10^-35.25 x 10^-35.250 x 10^35.25 x 10^3

Answer 1

5.25 x 10^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To write 5250 into scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point as many places as neccesary to get a number between 0 and 10. Then, if we move the decimal place to the left we multiply by a power of 10 with a positive exponent and if we move the decimal place to the right, we multiply by a power of 10 with a negative exponent.

Therefore, 5250. is equivalent to:

5.25 x 10^3

Because we move the decimal point 3 places to the left.
