Scientists often deal with numbers that are either very large or very small. For example, the radius of the Sun is approximately 696,000 kilometers, while bacterial cells are as small as 1.9 * 10-4 millimeters. Express each of these numbers in an alternate form. In scientific notation, the radius of the Sun is * 10 kilometers. In expanded notation, each bacterial cell is millimeters wide.

    Answer:-

    The radius of the Sun is 6.96 x 10⁵ km

    Each bacterial cell is 0.00019 mm wide.

    Explanation:-

    When scientists often deal with numbers that are either very large or very small, they use the scientific notation.

    The number is expressed as a quantity multiplied by 10 raised to a appropriate power.

    When there are zeroes to the right, the power of ten is positive. If the zeroes are to the left, it is negative.

    Thus 696000 becomes 6.96 x 10⁵ having zeroes to the right.

    Again 1.9 x 10⁻⁴ becomes 0.00019 having a negative power.

    Thus the radius of the Sun is 6.96 x 10⁵ km

    Each bacterial cell is 0.00019 mm wide.
