Question

I'm not the greatest with scientific notation the question iswrite 1,340 in scientific notation

Answer 1

In order to write a number in scientific notation, the number will be in the following format:

`a\cdot10^b`

Where 'a' is a number greater than or equal 1 and lesser than 10.

The number 1340 has 4 digits, the greatest digit has a value of 1 thousand, so in order to put this number in scientific notation, let's divide and multiply it by 1000:

`1340=(1340)/(1000)\cdot1000=1.34\cdot10^3`

Now we have a number in scientific notation, because the first number is between 1 and 10.

So the answer is 1.34 * 10^3
