Given:
5,098.000
Determine it's value in scientific notation.
Solution:
In order to determine the value of the given in scientific notation, we count the number of zeros, and non-zeros, excluding the last digit and the decimal point. The given has 2 non-zeros and 1 zero, which is in between the non-zeros, therefore the scientific notation will have a degree of 3, since we add 2 and 1. The placement of the non zero and zero between two non zeros will be place in decimal points, while the final digit will be the whole number. We've excluded .000 since it doesn't give any value to the given.
Final answer:
5.098 x 10^3
