Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    What is the standard form for this? 3,500,000,000

    • A.

      3.5*10^9

    • B.

      3*10^9

    • C.

      3.5*10^8

    Correct Answer
    A. 3.5*10^9
    Explanation
    The standard form for 3,500,000,000 is 3.5*10^9. This is because in standard form, a number is expressed as a decimal number between 1 and 10, multiplied by a power of 10. In this case, 3.5 is the decimal number and 10^9 represents the power of 10, indicating that the number should be multiplied by 10 nine times. Therefore, 3.5*10^9 is the correct standard form for 3,500,000,000.

  • 2. 

    What is the scientific form for this? 9.4*10^8

    • A.

      940,000,000

    • B.

      94,000,000,000

    • C.

      9.4,000,000

    Correct Answer
    A. 940,000,000
    Explanation
    The scientific form for the given number is 9.4*10^8. This is because in scientific notation, a number is expressed as a product of a decimal number between 1 and 10, and a power of 10. In this case, the decimal number is 9.4 and the power of 10 is 8. Therefore, the scientific form for 9.4*10^8 is 9.4*10^8.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Is this statment true or false? Is scientific notation good to solve problems with very big numbers and make them very small numbers.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Scientific notation is indeed a useful tool for solving problems with very big or very small numbers. It allows us to express these numbers in a concise and standardized format, making calculations and comparisons easier. By using powers of 10, scientific notation simplifies complex calculations and helps to avoid errors. Therefore, it is true that scientific notation is good for solving problems with very big and very small numbers.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Is this number in standard form? 3,400,800,900

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True

      10^19

    • B.

      10^4

    • C.

      10^13

    Correct Answer
    C. 10^13
    Explanation
    The exponent for the number 34,000,000,000,000 is 10^13. This means that the number can be written as 34 x 10^13. The exponent represents the number of zeros that follow the digit 34, indicating that there are 13 zeros after the number 34.

    Rate this question:

  • 6.
