The speed of lights is 175,000 miles per second, or about 651,000,000 miles per hour. How would you express these numbers in scientific notation?​

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]175,000 = 1.75 × 10 {}^{5} [/tex]

[tex]651 \: 000 \: 000 = 6.51 \times 10 ^{8} [/tex]

Scientific Notation is a great way to write very large or very small numbers. A number should be between 1 and 10, and that is 1 and 6 on the problem, and it should be a power of 10.

The power of 10 is positive if it is a large number. While if it is small or is a decimal numbers, the exponent of 10 will be negative.
