Question

check here for instructional material to complete this problem. write the number in scientific notation. 100,000,000 100,000,000 = \square (use scientific notation. use the multiplication symbol in the math palette as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scientific notation form

Scientific notation is in the form \( a \times 10^n \), where \( 1 \leq |a| < 10 \) and \( n \) is an integer.

Step2: Rewrite 100,000,000

For 100,000,000, we can write \( a = 1 \) (since \( 1 \) is between \( 1 \) and \( 10 \)) and we need to find \( n \). The number of places we move the decimal point to the left to get from 100,000,000 to 1 is 8. So \( n = 8 \). Thus, \( 100,000,000 = 1 \times 10^8 \).

Answer:

\( 1 \times 10^8 \)
