Q. Which sign makes the statement true?\newline2.02×1042.02 \times 10^4 ?\text{?} 2,0202,020\newlineChoices:\newline(A) >>\newline(B) <<\newline(C) ==
  1. Express in Scientific Notation: We have 2.02×1042.02 \times 10^4 and 2,0202,020. \newlineFirst, let's express 2,0202,020 in scientific notation to compare it easily with 2.02×1042.02 \times 10^4.\newline2,0202,020 can be written as 2.02×1032.02 \times 10^3 because 2.022.02 times 1010 to the power of 33 equals 2,0202,020.
  2. Compare Exponents: Now we compare 2.02×1042.02 \times 10^4 with 2.02×1032.02 \times 10^3. Since the base numbers (2.022.02) are the same, we only need to compare the exponents of 1010. The exponent in 2.02×1042.02 \times 10^4 is 44, and the exponent in 2.02×1032.02 \times 10^3 is 33. 44 is greater than 33. Therefore, 2.02×1042.02 \times 10^4 is greater than 2.02×1032.02 \times 10^3.
