PROBLEM

Convert 355,000 to scientific notation.
$$ 355,000 =
$$

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The number to be converted to scientific notation is355,000

STEP 2

Scientific notation is a way of writing numbers that are too large or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form. It is written as a product of a number between1 and10 (including1) and a power of10.
ScientificNotation=atimes10nScientific\, Notation = a \\times10^nWhere- aa is a number between1 and10 (including1)
- nn is an integer

STEP 3

To write the number355,000 in scientific notation, we first need to express it as a number between1 and10 (including1). We do this by moving the decimal point to the left until we have a number between1 and10.355,000=3.55times105355,000 =3.55 \\times10^5Here, we moved the decimal point5 places to the left, so the exponent of10 is5.

SOLUTION

So, the number355,000 in scientific notation is355,000 =3.55 \\times10^This is the final answer.
