Question

61,000,000

anonymous · Answer

would it be 61^6

anonymous · Answer

Well, scientific notation is when you have a number, and then times 10 to a power.
First, you would find a root to the number, which is 61.
Then, you count how many zeroes it has to the right of it, which is 6. That is the exponent to the 10. So your final answer is : 61 x 10^6

nope i understand

openstudier · Answer

$$a*x^n$$$$1\le a < 10$$

openstudier · Answer

So, we get: $$6.1*10^n$$What is n?

openstudier · Answer

Well since we went 7 digits backwards to get 6.1, in order to get 61,000,000, we must go 7 digits forward so we get:$$6.1*10^7$$
