In 1968,the estimated population of the world was 3,559,028,982 people.When this number is written in expanded form using exponents,one power of 10 would not be represented.which power of 10? Why?

Answer 1

0 x 10⁵ would not be represented since the 0 has no value other than holding the place. The zero in your number is the one that would not be represented.


All the other numerals are significant and would need a power of ten to represent them.
