To find the value of a where 8x10^3 is larger than ax10^2, we need to compare the coefficients of the powers of 10.
The coefficient of 8x10^3 is 8.
The coefficient of ax10^2 is a.
To ensure that 8x10^3 is larger than ax10^2, the coefficient 8 needs to be greater than the coefficient a. Therefore, a < 8.
For what value of a will 8x10^3 be larger than ax10^2?
