Q. Choose the letters of ALL of the numbers that are in proper scientific notation:\newlineA) 15×10315 \times 10^{3}\newlineB) 2.3×1082.3 \times 10^{8}\newlineC) 0.6×1020.6 \times 10^{2}\newlineD) 8+1048+10^{4}\newlineE) 7.2×657.2 \times 6^{5}
  1. Scientific Notation Definition: Proper scientific notation requires a number to be expressed as a product of a number between 11 and 1010 and a power of 1010.
  2. Evaluate Option A: Evaluate option A: 15×10315 \times 10^{3}. The coefficient 1515 is not between 11 and 1010, so this is not in proper scientific notation.
  3. Evaluate Option B: Evaluate option B: 2.3×1082.3 \times 10^{8}. The coefficient 2.32.3 is between 11 and 1010, and it is multiplied by a power of 1010, so this is in proper scientific notation.
  4. Evaluate Option C: Evaluate option C: 0.6×1020.6 \times 10^{2}. The coefficient 0.60.6 is between 11 and 1010, and it is multiplied by a power of 1010, so this is in proper scientific notation.
  5. Evaluate Option D: Evaluate option D: 8+1048 + 10^{4}. This is not a product of a number between 11 and 1010 and a power of 1010, but rather a sum. Therefore, it is not in proper scientific notation.
  6. Evaluate Option E: Evaluate option E: 7.2×657.2 \times 6^{5}. This is a product of a number between 11 and 1010 and a power of 66, not a power of 1010. Therefore, it is not in proper scientific notation.
