How to write 60000 in exponential notation?

A) 6 x 10³
B) 6 x 10⁴
C) 6 x 10⁵
D) 6 x 10⁶

Answer 1

60000 can be written in exponential notation as 6 x 10^5.

So, The option C is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

To write 60000 in exponential notation, we need to express it as a number multiplied by a power of 10. In this case, we move the decimal point to the left until there is only one digit to the left of the decimal point. Since there are no digits to the left of the decimal point in 60000, we move the decimal point five places to the left. Therefore, 60000 can be written as 6 x 105 (option C).

So, the answer C is the correct answer
