The scientific notation for the value [tex]\frac{9 \times 10^9}{4.5 \times 10^1}[/tex] is 2 [tex]\times[/tex] 10
^8
.
Explanation:
- Scientific notation is a method for communicating numbers that are too enormous or too little to even think about being easily written in a decimal structure.
-
To compose a number in scientific notation:
-
Put the decimal after the main digit and drop the zeroes.
-
Now calculating the values in scientific notation using the following formula,
a
^x / a^
y = a
^(x − y
)
= 9 × 10
^9 / 4.5 × 10
^1
= 9 / 4.5 × 10
^(9
−
1)
= 2 [tex]\times[/tex] 10
^8
The scientific notation for the value [tex]\frac{9 \times 10^9}{4.5 \times 10^1}[/tex] is 2 [tex]\times[/tex] 10
