Question

How to write 100000 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

The answer is
1×10^5

Answer 2

100000 in scientific notation:
`100,000=1.0* 10^(5)m/s`

Explanation:

Scientific notation is defined as the notation in which a number is expressed in the decimal form. This means that the number is always written in the power of 10 form. The numerical digit lies between 0.1.... to 9.9.....

If the decimal is shifting to right side, the power of 10 is negative and if the decimal is shifting to left side, the power of 10 is positive.

We are given: 100,000

Converting this into scientific notation, we get:

`\Rightarrow 100,000=1.0* 10^(5)m/s`

As, the decimal point is shifting to left side, thus the power of 5 is positive.
