Certainly! Here's a step-by-step explanation of how I arrived at the answer:
1. Count the number of zeros in 350,000. In this case, there are five zeros.
2. Move the decimal point to the left after the first digit, so that there is only one nonzero digit to the left of the decimal point. In this case, we move it after the 3, resulting in 3.5. The number becomes 3.5 x (10^5 zeros) because we moved the decimal point 5 places to the left.
3. Since we moved the decimal point five places to the left, we need to multiply the number by 10 raised to the fifth power. In scientific notation, the exponent represents the number of places we moved the decimal point. So, the exponent is 5.
So, 350,000 can be expressed in scientific notation as 3.5 x 10^5.
