(Use scientific notation. Use the multiplication symbol in the math palette as needed.) Found 2 solutions by MathLover1, greenestamps:Answer by MathLover1(20849) (Show Source):
The answer 5.294*10^(-23) from the other tutor has 4 significant digits, not 3.
The number of decimal places is not the same thing as the number of significant figures.
In particular, in scientific notation, there is always 1 significant figure to the left of the decimal point; so a number in scientific notation with n significant figures will have (n-1) digits after the decimal point.
ANSWER: (1/2)^74 written in scientific notation with 3 significant figures is 5.29*10^(-23)
