Chapter SH, Problem 10.1E

To determine

Write the given number in scientific notation.

Answer to Problem 10.1E

The Scientific notation of the given number is $1.34\times {10}^6$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given number is $1,340,000$ .

Calculation:

Scientific notation $\to$ it is a standard way of writing very large and very small numbers.

The form of the Scientific notation is

  $n\times {10}^m$ , where $1\le n<10$ and $m$ is an integer.

Move the decimal place to the left or right and create a new number.

  $n=1.34$

If the decimal moves to the left, then the exponent (the number of times decimal moved) of the $10$ will be positive and If the decimal moves to the right, then the exponent (the number of times decimal moved) of the $10$ will be is negative.

The number of decimal moves to the left $=6$

The exponent of the $10$

  $={10}^6$

Scientific notation of the number $=1.34\times {10}^6$

Hence the Scientific notation of the given number is $1.34\times {10}^6$ .
