Answer:

The answer is 1385 x10∧ -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is a quick way to represent a number using notation in exponential form or powers of base ten.

This notation allows us to express too large or small numbers easily.

For example:

500 is written as 5x10∧2; Where the power 2 represents the number of 0's that follow 5.

0.0093 is written as 9.3x10∧-3; Where the power -3 represents the number of times the comma was moved to the right.
