Write 1000201.3 in scientific notation.
Answer
$$ 1000201.3 = 1.0002013\cdot 10^{6} $$
Explanation
Step 1: Move the decimal point from its current position (the black dot) to a position immediately to the right of the first nonzero digit (the red dot).
1.000201.3
Step 2: We moved the decimal point 6 spaces to the right. Therefore, the exponent on base 10 will be positive 6.Now we know that the:
Mantissa = 1.0002013
Exponent = 6
So, the solution is:
$$1000201.3 = \color{blue}{ 1.0002013} \cdot 10^{ \color{red}{ 6 }}$$This page was created using
