Q. Which sign makes the statement true?\newline4.5×1024.5 \times 10^2 ?\text{?} 4.5×1044.5 \times 10^4\newlineChoices:\newline(A) >>\newline(B) <<\newline(C) ==
  1. Analyze expressions: Analyze the given expressions.\newlineWe have 4.5×1024.5 \times 10^2 and 4.5×1044.5 \times 10^4. \newlineAre the exponents the same or different?\newlineExponents are 22 and 44. \newlineBoth exponents are different.
  2. Compare exponents: Compare the exponents.\newlineSince the base numbers 4.54.5 are the same, we only need to compare the exponents to determine the inequality.\newlineExponents are 22 and 44. \newline2<42 < 4 \newlineTherefore, 4.5×102<4.5×1044.5 \times 10^2 < 4.5 \times 10^4.
