Type the correct answer in the box.
scientists often deal with numbers that are either very large or very small. for example, the radius of the sun is approximately 696,000 kilometers, while bacterial cells are as small as 1.9 × 10-4 millimeters. express each of these numbers in an alternate form.

in scientific notation, the radius of the sun is
× 10
kilometers.

in expanded notation, each bacterial cell is
millimeters wide.

a= In scientific notation

6.96000×10⁵ Km

b =In  expanded notation

0.00019 mm

Explanation:

Given data:

Radius of sun = 696000 Km

size of bacterial cell = 1.9 ×10⁻⁴ mm

Radius of sun in scientific notation = ?

Size of bacterial cell in expanded notation = ?

Solution:

Scientific notation is the way to express the large value in short form.

The number in scientific notation have two parts.

. The digits (decimal point will place after first digit)

× 10 ( the power which put the decimal point where it should be)

for example the number 6324.4 in scientific notation will be written as = 6.3244 × 10³

Radius of sun:

696000 Km

In scientific notation

6.96000 × 10⁵ Km

The expanded notation is standard notation of writing the numerical values which is normal way. The numbers are written as they are, without the power of 10.

Size of bacterial cell:

1.9 ×10⁻⁴ mm

In  expanded notation

1.9/ 10000 = 0.00019 mm
