Given the number sentence:
2.3 x 10^-5 ___ 2.3 x 10^5
Determine which inequality symbol would make the sentence true.
Explanation:
In order to determine which inequality symbol would make the sentence true, we solve for each value separately and determine if the values are greater than, less than or equal to. Although it doesn't necessarily need any solving since we can see that the other value is raised to a negative number, then it is for a fact less than the other value which is raise to a positive number.
2.3 x 10^-5 ___ 2.3 x 10^5
2.3 x 10^-5 < 2.3 x 10^5
Final answer:
2.3 x 10^-5 < 2.3 x 10^5
