Question

How do you write 375,000 scientific notation?

Answer 1

`375000` in scientific notation is `3.75xx10^5`.

Explanation:

In scientific notation a number is written as `axx10^n`, where `n` is an integer and `a` is a number which has just one digit to the left of decimal i.e. `1<=a<10`.

Hence to write `375000` in scientific notation, we will have to move decimal five places to the left.

Hence `375000` in scientific notation is `3.75xx10^5`

Answer 2

`3.75*10^5`

Explanation:

The key realization is that when we write numbers in scientific notation, we want one digit before the decimal point.

In our case, we must loop it `5` times to the left. The number of times we loop it is our exponent, and looping left makes it positive. Thus, we have

`3.75*10^5`

Hope this helps!
