Question

what is 2000 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

Start with 2000 and place a decimal point between the first two digits (2 and 0) to get 2.000

Drop the trailing zeros to get just 2. You can write 2.0 but that's the same as 2

Now we have 2 or 2.0, how do we get back to 2,000? We do so by moving the decimal point 3 spots to the right

So that's why

\[\Large 2,000 = 2 \times 10^{3}\]

notice how we have the base '2' and then we're multiplying that by 10^3. The exponent 3 over the 10 represents how many spaces we move that decimal point over

Answer 2

So for practice, can you tell me what 67,500 is in scientific notation?

Answer 3

67500 in scientific notation form is: 6.75 × 104
