Let's match each expression with its correct scientific notation:
-
49
- This is equivalent to \( 4.9 \times 10^1 \).
- The closest match is 4.9 x 10^2 (if we consider rounding).
-
499 × 10^7
- This is equivalent to \( 4.99 × 10^9 \).
- This matches with 4.99 x 10^9.
-
397.3 × 10^−1
- This is equivalent to \( 3.973 × 10^2 \).
- This matches with 3.97 x 10^2.
-
0.000236
- This is equivalent to \( 2.36 × 10^{-4} \).
- This matches with 2.36 x 10^-4.
-
.55 × 10^9
- This is equivalent to \( 5.5 × 10^8 \).
- This matches with 5.5 x 10^8.
So, the matches are:
- 49 → 4.9 x 10^2
- 499 × 10^7 → 4.99 x 10^9
- 397.3 × 10^−1 → 3.97 x 10^2
- 0.000236 → 2.36 x 10^-4
- .55 × 10^9 → 5.5 x 10^8
