A. [tex]\(-9.0606 \times 10^5\)[/tex]

B. [tex]\(-9.06 \times 10^8\)[/tex]

C. [tex]\(9.06 \times 10\)[/tex]

D. [tex]\(9.0606 \times 10^{-5}\)[/tex]



Answer :

To determine which number is equal to [tex]\(-906,060\)[/tex], we will evaluate each expression provided:

1. First Expression:
[tex]\[ -9.0606 \times 10^5 \][/tex]
By converting scientific notation:
[tex]\[ -9.0606 \times 10^5 = -9.0606 \times 100000 = -906,060 \][/tex]
This expression simplifies to [tex]\(-906,060\)[/tex].

2. Second Expression:
[tex]\[ -9.06 \times 10^8 \][/tex]
By converting scientific notation:
[tex]\[ -9.06 \times 10^8 = -9.06 \times 100000000 = -906,000,000 \][/tex]
This expression simplifies to [tex]\(-906,000,000\)[/tex].

3. Third Expression:
[tex]\[ 9.06 \times 10 \][/tex]
By converting scientific notation:
[tex]\[ 9.06 \times 10 = 90.6 \][/tex]
This expression simplifies to [tex]\(90.6\)[/tex].

4. Fourth Expression:
[tex]\[ 9.0606 \times 10^{-5} \][/tex]
By converting scientific notation:
[tex]\[ 9.0606 \times 10^{-5} = 9.0606 \times 0.00001 = 0.000090606 \][/tex]
This expression simplifies to [tex]\(0.000090606\)[/tex].

Among the expressions, we see that the first expression simplifies to [tex]\(-906,060\)[/tex]. Therefore, the number equal to [tex]\(-906,060\)[/tex] is:

[tex]\[ -9.0606 \times 10^5 \][/tex]
