Directrix (directrix):

Scientific notation is a method of writing or displaying numbers in terms of a decimal number between 1 and 10, multiplied by a power of 10.

OpenStudy (kpop4life123):

so is it b?

Directrix (directrix):

No, because 5.7 is between 1 and 10.

Directrix (directrix):

Look at the options. Which of the numbers is NOT between 1 and 10?

Directrix (directrix):

Is 11 between 1 and 10?

OpenStudy (kpop4life123):

no

Directrix (directrix):

@Kpop4life123 Okay, then 11 ⋅10^21 is not in scientific notation. If it were, then it would appear as 1.1 * 10^1
