OpenStudy (igreen):

It's gonna be: \(4.81 \times 10^?\) Just figure out the exponent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it the ammount of zeros?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh this makes the others easier!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks

OpenStudy (igreen):

But it's not necessarily the number of zeroes every time.

OpenStudy (igreen):

But it is if you have two numbers AFTER the decimal. Here we have: \(4.81 \times 10^{11}\) 8 and 1 are the two numbers after the decimal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
