Is 53.7. 104 written in scientific
notation? Why or why not?


Sagot :

Assuming the expression is [tex]53.7 * 10^{4}[/tex].

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is where a number is written in the form [tex]a*10^{b}[/tex] where [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] are integers AND [tex]1<=a<10[/tex].

In our expression, [tex]53.7>=10[/tex], so it doesn't satisfy the requirements of scientific notation.

So, the answer is [tex]\boxed{no}[/tex], it's not written in scientific notation.
