Responses

1.429×10−5
1 point 4 2 9 times 10 to the negative 5 power

1.429×10−6
1 point 4 2 9 times 10 to the negative 6 power

4.129×10−4
4 point 1 2 9 times 10 to the negative 4 power

1.429×10−3

Answer 1

To determine which number is greater than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \), we need to compare it with the provided options:

1. **\( 1.429 \times 10^{-5} \)**
- This is equal to \( 0.00001429 \).
- It is lower than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \) (which is \( 0.0001429 \)).

2. **\( 1.429 \times 10^{-6} \)**
- This is equal to \( 0.000001429 \).
- It is lower than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \).

3. **\( 4.129 \times 10^{-4} \)**
- This is equal to \( 0.0004129 \).
- It is higher than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \).

4. **\( 1.429 \times 10^{-3} \)**
- This is equal to \( 0.001429 \).
- It is also higher than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \).

Thus, both **\( 4.129 \times 10^{-4} \)** and **\( 1.429 \times 10^{-3} \)** are greater than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \).
