Video transcript

Hi everyone today. We have a question asking us to express using scientific notation, 4.2 terra meters. So one terra meter Equals 10 to the 12th m. So we have 4.2 terra meters. We're going to multiply that by our 10 to the 12 m Over one terra meter and our terra meters are going to cancel out, And that is going to give us 4.2 Times 10 to the 12 m. And that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.
