Question

Select the correct scientific notation form of this numeral. Can someone help me with this

541

5.0 × 10 2
5 × 10 2
5.41 × 10 2
5.4 × 10 2

Answer 1

The answer is 5.41 × 10^2

Explanation:

To make sure the answer is right, picture a decimal on the right of the 1 in the numeral. Then, picture it going to the left until it's next to the 5. Since it moved twice, the exponent is 2 and the decimal is 5.41. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

it would be 5.41 x 10^2

Explanation:

the reason it would be this is because when you have it ^2 you love the decimal that many places the same goes for the number was negative then you would move it backwards.
