Solution
Solution Steps
To convert a number to scientific notation, we need to express it in the form \( a \times 10^b \), where \( 1 \leq a < 10 \) and \( b \) is an integer. For the number 4568, we can move the decimal point three places to the left to get 4.568, and then multiply by \( 10^3 \).
Step 1: Identify the Number
We start with the number \( 4568 \).
Step 2: Convert to Scientific Notation
To convert \( 4568 \) to scientific notation, we move the decimal point three places to the left, resulting in \( 4.568 \). This gives us:
\[
4568 = 4.568 \times 10^3
