Question

The magnitude of a ra representation of a number as the product of a number that is greater than or equal to 1 but less than

10 and an integer power of 10eal number without regard to its sign.

A. Estimate

B. Integers

C. Scientific Notation

D. Standard Form

Answer 1

C. Scientific Notation

Explanation:

Since the number in question is greater than or equal to 1 but less than

10, we can choose any number between 1 and 10, lets take 3 for example.

If we take the product of 3 and an integer power of 10 number without regard to its sign, this can be expressed mathematically as shown;

`3 * 10^(-5)` where the power of 10 is -5. Note that any real number can be used as the power since we are not regarding the sign (Here we used -5). The expression formed according to the expression in question is a SCIENTIFIC NOTATION i.e
`3 * 10^(-5)` gives us a scientific notation.

Scientific notation is a means by which we represent very large or small numbers that are difficult to represent using a decimal notation
