To write 987,000,000,000 in scientific notation, you express it as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10.
1. Move the decimal point to the left until you have a number between 1 and 10. For 987,000,000,000, moving the decimal point 11 places to the left gives you 9.87.
2. Count how many places you moved the decimal point; in this case, 11.
3. Therefore, you can write it as:
\[ 9.87 \times 10^{11} \]
So, 987,000,000,000 in scientific notation is \( 9.87 \times 10^{11} \).
