A number is written in scientific notation when the number is written in the form a×10n, where n needs to be an integer and a needs to satisfy the inequality 1a<10.
80×103
Comparing the given number with the form a×10n, we determine the values of a and n.
a=80
n=3
We need to verify whether n is an integer and a satisfies the inequality 1a<10.
n=3 is indeed an integer. However, a=80 is greater than 10 and thus a does not satisfy the inequality 1a<10. We then conclude that the number is not written in scientific notation.
