Chapter 2: Problem 33

Use scientific notation to eliminate all placeholding zeros. a. 7500 b. 92002000

Short Answer

Expert verified
The scientific notation for the given numbers is: a. \(7.5 \times 10^3\) and b. \(9.2002 \times 10^7\) respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Convert 7500 to Scientific Notation

Identify the decimal point in 7500 (7500.0). Move the decimal point so that there is only one non-zero digit to the left. This is 7.5. Count how many places the decimal point was moved, this will represent the exponent (in this case 3). This results into \(7.5 \times 10^3\).
02

Convert 92002000 to Scientific Notation

Follow the same procedure with 92002000. The decimal point will end up after the 2 in 9.2002. The exponent will therefore be 7 (the decimal was moved 7 places to the left). So this results into \(9.2002 \times 10^7\) .
