To write 2,940 in scientific notation, you need to express it as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10.
1. Move the decimal point in 2,940 to the left until you have a number between 1 and 10. This means we move it two places: 2.940.
2. Count how many places you moved the decimal point—this will be the exponent of 10. Since we moved it 2 places, the exponent is 2.
So, 2,940 in scientific notation is:
