I need help on this. It’s kinda confusing...

here u go

Explanation:

A. 3.7 x 10^4

B. 4.56 × 10^-8

C. 8.01 × 10^6

Work for A:

Step 1

To find a, take the number and move a decimal place to the right one position.

Original Number: 37,000

New Number: 3.7000

Step 2

Now, to find b, count how many places to the right of the decimal.

New Number:3.7000

Decimal Count:  1234

There are 4 places to the right of the decimal place.

Step 3

Building upon what we know above, we can now reconstruct the number into scientific notation.

Remember, the notation is: a x 10b

a = 3.7 (Please notice any zeroes on the end have been removed)

b = 4

Now the whole thing:

3.7 x 104

Step 4

Check your work:

104 = 10,000 x 3.7 = 37,000

Work for B:

Step 1

To find a, take the number and move a decimal place to the right one position.

Original Number: 456

New Number: 0.0000000456

Step 2

Now, to find b, count how many places to the right of the decimal.

New Number:0.0000000456

Decimal Count:  12345678910

There are 2 places to the right of the decimal place.

Step 3

Building upon what we know above, we can now reconstruct the number into scientific notation.

Remember, the notation is: a x 10b

a = 4.56

b = 2

Now the whole thing:

4.56 x 102

Step 4

Check your work:

102 = 100 x 4.56 = 456

Work for C:

Step 1

To find a, take the number and move a decimal place to the right one position.

Original Number: 8,010,000

New Number: 8.010000

Step 2

Now, to find b, count how many places to the right of the decimal.

New Number:8.010000

Decimal Count:  123456

There are 6 places to the right of the decimal place.

Step 3

Building upon what we know above, we can now reconstruct the number into scientific notation.

Remember, the notation is: a x 10b

a = 8.01 (Please notice any zeroes on the end have been removed)

b = 6

Now the whole thing:

8.01 x 106

Step 4

Check your work:

106 = 1,000,000 x 8.01 = 8,010,000
