Answer 20

A number written in scientific notation has two parts:
1. a number at least 1 but less than 10
2. 10 raised to an integer power
According to the problem, the smallest number in scientific notation this problem considers is 1 x 10^1 or -1 x 10^1, but you have to take its absolute value, so the smallest number is 1 x 10^1. Notice this is the smallest number you can have according to the problem. 1 x 10^1 = 10
Now compare 10 with the choices and decide.
