Q. Which sign makes the statement true?\newline5.2×104?2.5×1045.2 \times 10^4 \,?\, 2.5 \times 10^4\newlineChoices:\newline(A) >>\newline(B) <<\newline(C) ==
  1. Exponents Comparison: We have 5.2×1045.2 \times 10^4 and 2.5×1042.5 \times 10^4. \newlineAre the exponents the same or different?\newlineExponents are both 44. \newlineBoth exponents are the same.
  2. Coefficient Comparison: Since the exponents are the same, we can compare the coefficients directly.\newlineWhich sign makes the statement true?\newline5.2 \,\text{____}\, 2.5\newlineCompare the coefficients because the exponents are the same. \newline5.2>2.55.2 > 2.5 \newline5.2×104>2.5×1045.2 \times 10^4 > 2.5 \times 10^4.
