Jerome is writing a number in scientific
notation. The number is greater than one
million and less than ten million. What will
be the exponent in the number Jerome
writes?

Respuesta :

The exponent of the number in scientific notation is 6.

What will be the exponent in the number that Jerome writes?

First, let's write our two limits in scientific notation.

The lower bound is one million, which is:

1,000,000 = 1*10^6

(the exponent is equal to the number of digits after the first one).

The upper bound is ten million, which is written as:

10,000,000 = 1*10^7

Now, if Jerome's number is between these two, then the exponent must be 6, it can't be other number. Because if it is smaller than 6, then the number is smaller than one million, and if it 7 or larger, then it is larger than ten million.
