Scientific notation is a way of writing very large or very small numbers. A number is written in scientific notation when a number between 1 and 10 is multiplied by a power of 10.
We have to determine the number of places we will move the decimal point to write 41,200 in scientific Notation.
41200 can be expressed as
[tex]412 \times 10^2[/tex] which is further expressed as
[tex]4.12 \times 10^4[/tex]
Therefore, we moved one place to the left of the number 41200 to write it in scientific notation.
