Question

Arrange the values according to magnitude.65000, 4.5x10-2, 8.5x10-6, 9.0x10-6, 1.3x10-5

We’re being asked to arrange the values according to magnitude.Recall that a scientific notation expression is composed of three parts:[readmore]We need to do the following to express them all in the same scientific notation expression:1. Move the decimal point such that we end up with a coefficient that is greater than/equal to 1 and less than 10.2. The number of times the decimal point is moved determines the exponent. If the decimal point is moved to the left, we have a positive exponent; if moved to the right, we have a negative exponent.3. If there’s already an existing exponent, we simply add the new exponent to the original one.4. The base is always 10.For 65000: Exponent = ­4 [moved 4 spaces to the left] 6.5x10465000 is the largest number among themFor 4.5x10-2:Exponent = ­–4 [moved 4 spaces to the right] + (–15) [original exponent] = –645000x10-6For 8.5x10-6, For 9.0x10-6For 1.3x10-5:Exponent = ­–1 [moved 1 spaces to the right] + (–5) [original exponent] = –613x10-6Ranking them in increasing magnitude:8.5x10-6 < 9.0x10-6 < 13x10-6 < 45000x10-6 < 6.5x104Ranking them in their original form:8.5x10-6 < 9.0x10-6 < 1.3x10-5< 4.5x10-2 < 65000
