Let's first go through the guidelines for scientific notation. Your number in scientific notation will be a power of a number from 0 to 10, multiplied by 10, and either positive or negative. Given that your answer is 18,000 and that this number is not in the range of 0 to 10, let's alter it to 1.8000.
So, 1.8 10 ? power would be your beginning number. Look at the decimal places of 18,000 and 1.8000 to determine the missing power. To obtain the new number, we shifted the decimal point 4 places to the left. To find the large number, your starting point of 18,000 however, you want the scientific notation to be an abbreviation. As a result, you are moving four spaces to the right.
