Write 15,299 in scientific notation.

Sagot :

Writing scientific notation for postive integers is always given in the below;

[tex]\begin{gathered} a\ast10^b \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

To find a, we'll need to take the given number and move a decimal place to the right position. Therefore, our a will be 1.5299;

To find b, we need to count how many places to the right of the decimal point in a. Therefore, our b will be 4;

We now have a = 1.5299 and b = 4. Let's go ahead and write in the notation form given above;

[tex]1.5299\ast10^4[/tex]

Therefore, 15,299 in scientific notation is 1.5299 x 10^4.
