A spacecraft is orbiting Mars. At the farthest point in its orbit, it is 76,994 kilometers from Mars. Which of the following numbers is 76,994 written in scientific notation? 7.6994 x 106 7.6994 x 103 7.6994 x 105 7.6994 x 104
+118723 76,994 = 76994.
there is an invisable point at the end of any whole number.
you have to jump it over the 4 the 9 the 9 and the 6 SO that it ends up between the 7 and the 6. That is 4 jumps. So the power is 4
$$76994=7.6994\times 10^4$$
This might be displayed on a calc as 7.6994E4
After review I see that the misinterpretation was due to a missing ^ after the 10 of each number. My apologies.
