A certain microscope is able to magnify an object up to 100,000 times its original size. In scientific notation, 100,000 is _____.
shift 5 decimal places to the left, so the exponent for base 10 is 5. Therefore, the number in scientific notation is:
1.0 x 105
Answer: In scientific notation, 100,000 is \(1.0\times10^5\)
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the scientific notation is a technique to describe a very large or a very small number in the product of a decimal form of number [generally between 1 and 10] and powers of ten.
The given number = 100,000
Here the number of zeroes = 5
Then, in scientific notation, 100,000 =\(1.0\times10^5\)
