The distance that light travels in one year is approximately 9,460,000,000,000 kilometers. In scientific notation, this would be expressed as: 9.46 x 10^?

Respuesta :

false, it would be considered  9.46 * 1,000,000,000,000,000

Explanation:

A mathematical expression that is used for the representation of a decimal number between 1 to 10 raised to the power of 10. As a result, a scientific notation will be written using less digits.

For example, 9,460,000,000,000 kilometers can be written is scientific notation as follows.

                 [tex]9.46 \times 10^{12}[/tex] km

So, when we remove the decimal then we get the number [tex]946 \times 10^{10}[/tex] which is equal to 9,460,000,000,000.

Therefore, we can conclude that the scientific notation of 9,460,000,000,000 km is [tex]9.46 \times 10^{12}[/tex] km.
