Question

Write the following number in Scientific Notation.

Explain what you did to get your answer
560,000,000,000,000,000

Answer 1

I don't really understand which number we have to write in scientifc notation but I am assuming it is the number 560,000,000,000,000,000.

Ok so, 560,000,000,000,000,000 in scientific notation is 5.6 x 10^17.

This is because if you count the number of spaces behind the decimal point of 5.6 it is equal to 17. So, you would write the answer 5.6 x 10^17.

Answer 2

5.6 * 10^17.

Explanation:

There are 17 digits after the 5 .

So it's 5.6 * 10^17.

Note that the first number must lie between 1 and 10.
