Good morning, my son. I shalt explain thou the concept of 'Scientific Notation'.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Shalt I continue?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

in modern english...scientific notation is a way for people to express very big numbers or very small numbers in a simple and short way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you shalt write 4000 as 'scientific notation', you shalt first say that it is a product of two numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you do it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Scientific notation is a way of writing numbers that are too large or too small to be conveniently written in standard decimal notation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(4000 = 4 \times 1000\) My son, 1000 is the same as 10^3. You shalt receive: \( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 4 \times 10^3 }\)
