Question

One of the fastest computers in the world can work 4.0 x 10^10 operations per second. Which of the following represents this number in standard notation? O A. 4,000,000,000 OB. 0.0000000004 O C. 0.00000000004 OD. 40,000,000,000

Answer 1

we must multiply 4 times 10^10. It yields,

`\begin{gathered} 4\cdot10^(10)=4\cdot10000000000 \\ 4\cdot10^(10)=40000000000 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is D.
