Which number is correctly written in scientific notation?

Question

10 times 10^3
2.520 times 10^3
25.20 times 10^3

Answer 1

In scientific notation, a number is expressed in the form \( a \times 10^n \) where \( 1 \leq a < 10 \) and \( n \) is an integer.

Let's evaluate the provided options:

1. 10 times 10^3: This can be expressed as \( 1.0 \times 10^4 \) when converted to scientific notation. It does not fit the standard form since \( a \) is not less than 10.

2. 2.520 times 10^3: This fits the scientific notation format since \( 2.520 \) is between 1 and 10.

3. 25.20 times 10^3: This can be expressed as \( 2.520 \times 10^4 \) when converted to scientific notation. It does not fit the standard form since \( a \) is not less than 10.

Hence, the correct answer is 2.520 times 10^3.

Answer 2

The age of Earth is about 4.6 times 10^9 years old. What is the number in decimal notation?

Answer 3

To convert \( 4.6 \times 10^9 \) years into decimal notation, you move the decimal point in \( 4.6 \) nine places to the right (because of the exponent \( 9 \)).

This gives you:

\[ 4.6 \times 10^9 = 4600000000 \]

So, the age of the Earth in decimal notation is 4,600,000,000 years.

Answer 4

Use scientific notation to compare these numbers: 3,478,660; 34,870,000; 34,786,600. Which number has the greatest value?

Answer 5

To compare the numbers \(3,478,660\), \(34,870,000\), and \(34,786,600\) using scientific notation, we first convert each number into scientific notation:

1. \(3,478,660\): \[ 3,478,660 = 3.47866 \times 10^6 \]

2. \(34,870,000\): \[ 34,870,000 = 3.487 \times 10^7 \]

3. \(34,786,600\): \[ 34,786,600 = 3.47866 \times 10^7 \]

Now we can compare the numbers by looking at their scientific notation:

• \(3.47866 \times 10^6\) (for \(3,478,660\)) is equivalent to \(3.47866\) multiplied by \(1,000,000\).
• \(3.487 \times 10^7\) (for \(34,870,000\)) is equivalent to \(3.487\) multiplied by \(10,000,000\).
• \(3.47866 \times 10^7\) (for \(34,786,600\)) is equivalent to \(3.47866\) multiplied by \(10,000,000\).

Since both \(34,870,000\) and \(34,786,600\) are multiplied by \(10^7\), we will compare the coefficients for these two before making a conclusion:

• \(3.487\) (from \(34,870,000\)) is greater than \(3.47866\) (from \(34,786,600\)).

Thus, the greatest value among the three numbers is 34,870,000.

Answer 6

The density of oxygen is about 1.429 times 10^-4 grams per liter. What number is higher than 1.429 times 10^-4?

Answer 7

To find a number that is higher than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \), you can simply increase the coefficient (the part before the multiplication by the power of ten) while keeping the same exponent.

For example:

• \( 1.5 \times 10^{-4} \) is greater than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \).
• \( 2 \times 10^{-4} \) is also greater than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \).
• \( 1.5 \times 10^{-3} \) (which equals \( 1.5 \times 10^{-4} \times 10 \)) is also higher, but it has a different exponent.

In general, any coefficient greater than \( 1.429 \) multiplied by \( 10^{-4} \) (for example \( 1.43 \times 10^{-4} \) or \( 1.5 \times 10^{-4} \), etc.) will be higher than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \) as long as the exponent remains the same.

Answer 8

1.429 times 10^-5
1.429 times 10^-6
4.129 times 10^-4
1.429 times 10^-3

Answer 9

To determine which of the following numbers is higher than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \):

1. \( 1.429 \times 10^{-5} \)
2. \( 1.429 \times 10^{-6} \)
3. \( 4.129 \times 10^{-4} \)
4. \( 1.429 \times 10^{-3} \)

Let's compare each number to \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \):

1. \( 1.429 \times 10^{-5} \):

   • This is \( 0.0001429 \), which is less than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \) (or \( 0.0001429 \) vs \( 0.001429 \)).

2. \( 1.429 \times 10^{-6} \):

   • This is \( 0.00001429 \), which is also less than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \).

3. \( 4.129 \times 10^{-4} \):

   • This is \( 0.0004129 \), which is greater than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \).

4. \( 1.429 \times 10^{-3} \):

   • This is \( 0.001429 \), which is also greater than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \).

Thus, the numbers that are higher than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \) are:

• \( 4.129 \times 10^{-4} \)
• \( 1.429 \times 10^{-3} \)

Answer 10

there is only one answer

Answer 11

I apologize for any confusion in my previous response. Let’s clarify which of the provided options is strictly higher than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \):

1. \( 1.429 \times 10^{-5} \): This equals \( 0.00001429 \) (less than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \)).

2. \( 1.429 \times 10^{-6} \): This equals \( 0.000001429 \) (also less).

3. \( 4.129 \times 10^{-4} \): This equals \( 0.0004129 \) (greater than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \)).

4. \( 1.429 \times 10^{-3} \): This equals \( 0.001429 \) (also greater).

Among these options, the only number that is greater than \( 1.429 \times 10^{-4} \) is:

• \( 4.129 \times 10^{-4} \)

\( 1.429 \times 10^{-3} \) is also greater, but if the request is for only one answer, then we have:

The answer is \( 4.129 \times 10^{-4} \).
