Question

write the number in scientific notation.
66,012
66,012 =
(use scientific notation. use the multiplication symbol in the math palette as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scientific notation rules

Scientific notation is \( a \times 10^n \), where \( 1 \leq |a| < 10 \) and \( n \) is an integer. For 66,012, we move the decimal to get \( a = 6.6012 \).

Step2: Determine the exponent \( n \)

We moved the decimal 4 places left (from 66012. to 6.6012), so \( n = 4 \). Thus, \( 66012 = 6.6012 \times 10^4 \).

Answer:

\( 6.6012 \times 10^{4} \)
