Explanation:

Step1: Recall scientific - notation form

Scientific notation is of the form $a\times10^{n}$, where $1\leqslant|a|\lt10$ and $n$ is an integer.

Step2: Convert 980000 to scientific notation

Move the decimal point 5 places to the left to get $a = 9.8$. Since we moved the decimal point 5 places to the left, $n=5$. So, $980000 = 9.8\times10^{5}$.

Answer:

$9.8\times10^{5}$

(Note: The second part of the image about the influenza - virus mass is cut off, so only the first question about the population of Circle Town is answered. If you provide the full second - part question, I can answer it as well.)
