Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!! Select the correct scientific notation form of this numeral. 6,282 A. 6.282 × 10^3 B. 6.282 × 10^4 C. 62.82 × 10^3 or D. 62.82 × 10^4

Answer 1

A. 6.282 * 10^3

Explanation:

Answer 2

A. 6.282 * 10^3

Explanation:

In order to be written in scientific notation, it has to be between 1 and less than 10. Knowing this, we can eliminate both C and D, as the are well over 10. We now have A and B left, so you have to figure out how many places the decimal is from the end. It's three, so the correct answer is A; 6.282 * 10^3.

Hope this helps!
