Answer:
1.6 × 10[tex]^{12}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the GDP of Brazil in 2008 was nearly 1.6 trillion and we need to write this in scientific notation.
To write a number in the scientific notation, we follow the form
[tex]N[/tex] × [tex]10^a[/tex]
where [tex]N[/tex] is a number between 1 and 10 but not 10 itself and the power [tex]a[/tex] is an integer (positive or negative).
Since there are 12 zeros in a trillion so the power would be positive 12 and 1.6 trillion in scientific notation will be 1.6 × 10[tex]^{12}[/tex].
Answer:
1.6 * 10^12
Step-by-step explanation:
1 trillion = 1 * 10^12
so 1.6 trillion = 1.6 * 10^12.
