Je crois "oui"

I believe it's "Yes" is this accurate?

anonymous · Answer

no! the first digit must be greater than 1!

anonymous · Answer

not 0.84...

anonymous · Answer

In the scientific notation, can the exponents be in the negative?

anonymous · Answer

yes.

anonymous · Answer

Ah, then I have clue how to identify the scientific notation in this problem.
a. 7.8 x 10^-5
b. 3.4 x 100^2
c. 0.84 x 10^6
d. 50 x 50^-12

Could it be.... a? But I'm not sure....

anonymous · Answer

it is!

anonymous · Answer

Thank you! I only said that because I feel that the second number has to have 10. :P

anonymous · Answer

Oh, and I made a mistake. d is 50 x 10^-12

anonymous · Answer

it still can't be d...since 50 is not between 1 and 10! remember...the sign can be negative but the digit must be between 1 and 10!

anonymous · Answer

Ah, thank you.
