Question

Identify the coefficient and exponent of these very large and very small numbers represented in scientific notation. Identify how each number would be represented in scientific notation. 5,890,000 = a × 10b

Answer 1

`5,890,000=5.89* 10^6`

Explanation:

The given number is 5,890,000.

We need to express in scientific notation.

A number can be written in scientific notation as follows :

`N=a* 10^b`

Where

a is a real number and b is an integer

`5,890,000=5.89* 10^6`

Hence, a = 5.89 and b = 6.
