Question 11. Score: 1/1
Express 300000 in scientific notation. Use * for the multiplication symbol and $\wedge$ for the exponent.
For example, if you wanted to enter 0.054 in scientific notation, you would type it in as $5.4^{\star} 10^{\wedge}-2$. There are no spaces between any of the numbers or symbols when entered into OHM.

Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the coefficient
To express 300000 in scientific notation, first identify the coefficient. The coefficient is a number between 1 and 10. For 300000, the coefficient is 3.
Step 2: Determine the exponent
Next, determine the exponent for the base 10. Count how many places the decimal point needs to move from its original position to after the first digit. For 300000, the decimal point moves 5 places to the left, so the exponent is 5.
Step 3: Write in scientific notation
Combine the coefficient and the exponent to write the number in scientific notation. The scientific notation for 300000 is \(3 \cdot 10^{5}\).
