Answer 3

okay, your initial number is 1,234,000. correct, okay from there when in scientific notation you start the decimal in between the first and second number, then you move it to the right to figure out how many (powers) are needed to make it into scientific notation. if it was 1.234X10^5 it would only be 123,400. move the decimal for a positive right how ever many powers it is. if it was negative like 1.234x10^-6 you would move the decimal to the left.
