Answer:
The decimal number 8,500,000 has been converted to its corresponding scientific notation, which is [tex]$8.5 \times 10^{6}$[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
- Given: The decimal number 8,500,000.
- We need to convert the number to its corresponding scientific notation.
- Dissociate the number into the multiples of 10.
- Adjust the coefficient such that it lies between 1 and 10.
- Use the format [tex]$a \times 10^{b}$[/tex] to write the final answer.
Step 1 of 1
Remember that the decimal lies at the end of 8,500,000. Move the decimal next to 8 such that the result is greater than 1 and less than 10 . So the decimal point will move 6 places to the left.
As 8,500,000 is greater than 1 so the power of 10 will have an exponent of 6 .
So,
[tex]$8,500,000=8.5 \times 10^{6}$[/tex]
Verifying the result we can see that
[tex]$10^{6}=1,000,000$[/tex]
when multiplied by 8.5 will result in 8,500,000.
