Question

problem 12: rewrite this number in scientific notation. 12,700,000 after you enter your answer press go. x go

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 12,700,000

To get \( a \) between 1 and 10, we move the decimal point 7 places to the left: \( 12700000 = 1.27 \times 10^7 \).

Answer:

\( 1.27 \times 10^7 \) (So in the boxes: 1.27, 10, 7)
