Question

Sergio is asked to write one million in scientific notation. He writes 10 6 and gets it wrong.

Why was he wrong?

He should have written 10 5.
He should have written 1 × 10 5.
He should have written 10 6.
He should have written 1 × 10 6.

Answer 1

\[1.0 \times10^{6}\]
is the correct way because he is moving the decimal point 6 places to the right side of one

Answer 2

I forgot the correct explanation of why it is my solution but check out youtube videos on scientific notations okay.

Answer 3

\[1\times 10^6\]
Because 10^6 is a million BUT in scientific notation there is usually 2 parts. So you times it by 1 which gives you a million.
