OpenStudy (anonymous):

ax

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ask

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

like can you give me an example of what you do? @satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give me an example

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

Which number is the largest? 1.2 × 10^4, 4.5 × 10negative3, 3.8 × 10^3, 7.5 × 10^3 1.2 × 10^4 4.5 × 10negative3 3.8 × 10^3 7.5 × 10^3

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

thats the question, but i wanna know how to figure it out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

damn i can't read it can you post a screen shot?

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

okay

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Well neither can I..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i can see it now

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

damn now i can't read that can you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[10^4=10,000\]

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

no, its like question marks?

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

but i think its A right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so \[1.2\times 10^4\] is the largest number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it is A

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

but how was it equal to 10,000?

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

thats what I'm confused on haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[10^4\] is a one and four zeros

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[10^1=10\\ 10^2=100\\ 10^3=1,000\\ 10^4=10,000\] etc

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

ohh!! lmao thank you so much!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so \(1.2\times 10^4=1.2\times 10,000=12,000\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

@satellite73 is the one to go to if you need help in math...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@TheSmartOne thanks!

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

i know right! @TheSmartOne

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

I may be smart. But satellite gets his answers from satellites from all over the world to get you your answer correctly and efficiently.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
