You significant notation determine these numbers has the least value 98,000 787,000 987,000 89,000 write your significant notation express the note

1 answer

To express the numbers you provided in scientific notation, we follow the format \( a \times 10^n \), where \( 1 \leq a < 10 \) and \( n \) is an integer.

Let's convert each of the numbers to scientific notation:

  1. 98,000:
    In scientific notation:
    \( 9.8 \times 10^4 \)

  2. 787,000:
    In scientific notation:
    \( 7.87 \times 10^5 \)

  3. 987,000:
    In scientific notation:
    \( 9.87 \times 10^5 \)

  4. 89,000:
    In scientific notation:
    \( 8.9 \times 10^4 \)

Now comparing the values in scientific notation, we can see that the least value in standard notation is:

  • 89,000 (which is \( 8.9 \times 10^4 \)).

Thus, the number with the least value among the options you provided is 89,000.
