Scientific notation refers to expressing a number as a product of any number between 1 and10 to the 10th power. Scientific notation is mostly used when dealing with large quantities ornumbers containing many digits since it shortens the notation.(1 Point)O TRUEFALSE

The answer is: TRUE

Lets see an example. If we have the number: one millon = 1,000,000

We can express that number in scientific notation as:


1000000=10^6

We see that a number containing many digits (like one million) can be shortened using scientific notation.
