When numbers are written in scientific notation, there is a number, also called a coefficient, multiplied by a power of 10. When written correctly, the coefficient should have
a. random
b. more than one
c. one

digit to the left of the decimal. This means the coefficient could be
a. equal to
b. less than
c. greater than

1, but must be
a. equal to
b. less than
c. greater than

10.

If the exponent on the 10 is
a. positive
b. negative

the number is greater than 1.
If the exponent on the 10 is
a. negative
b. positive

the number is less than 1.
