Chapter 1, Problem 66

Write each number in decimal notation without the use of exponents. 9.2×1029.2×10^2

Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the given number in scientific notation: \(9.2 \times 10^{2}\).
Recall that \$10^{2}$ means \(10\) raised to the power of \(2\), which equals \(100\).
Rewrite the expression by replacing \$10^{2}$ with \(100\): \(9.2 \times 100\).
Multiply \(9.2\) by \(100\) by moving the decimal point two places to the right.
Write the final number in decimal notation without exponents.

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Scientific Notation

Scientific notation is a way to express very large or very small numbers using powers of ten. It is written as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by 10 raised to an exponent. For example, 9.2×10^2 means 9.2 times 10 squared.

Interval Notation

Powers of Ten

Powers of ten represent repeated multiplication of 10. For instance, 10^2 means 10 multiplied by itself twice (10 × 10 = 100). Understanding powers of ten helps convert numbers from scientific notation to standard decimal form.

Decimal Notation

Decimal notation is the standard way of writing numbers using digits 0-9 without exponents. Converting from scientific notation to decimal notation involves multiplying the base number by the power of ten and writing the result as a regular number.
