after you pick your answer press go.

true

false

Explanation:

Analyze the statement

The statement asserts that very large and very small numbers are easier to read when written in scientific notation.

Evaluate the purpose of scientific notation

Scientific notation expresses numbers as a product of a decimal number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10 (e.g., \(3.0 \times 10^8\) instead of \(300,000,000\)). This compact representation eliminates long strings of zeros, making extremely large or small values significantly easier to read, write, and compare. Therefore, the statement is true.

Answer:

• True (Correct answer)
• False
