Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Scientific Notation
Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too large or too small in a compact form. It is written as a product of a number (the coefficient) and a power of ten. For example, in the expression 9.2×10^2, 9.2 is the coefficient, and 10^2 indicates that the coefficient should be multiplied by 100.
Decimal notation is the standard way of writing numbers using digits from 0 to 9, where the position of each digit represents a power of ten. Converting from scientific notation to decimal notation involves calculating the value of the power of ten and multiplying it by the coefficient to express the number in a more familiar format.
When multiplying a number by a power of ten, you shift the decimal point to the right for positive exponents and to the left for negative exponents. In the case of 9.2×10^2, the exponent 2 indicates that the decimal point in 9.2 should be moved two places to the right, resulting in the decimal notation of 920.
