To determine which of the following is the same as [tex]\(2.3 \times 10^3\)[/tex], let's break down the calculation:
1. Understand the expression: We start with [tex]\(2.3 \times 10^3\)[/tex].
2. Evaluate [tex]\(10^3\)[/tex]: This is [tex]\(10\)[/tex] raised to the power of 3, which equals 1,000.
3. Multiply [tex]\(2.3\)[/tex] by 1,000:
- [tex]\(2.3 \times 1,000 = 2,300\)[/tex]
Therefore, the value of [tex]\(2.3 \times 10^3\)[/tex] is 2,300.
Let's look at the options:
- A. 2,300
- B. .023
- C. 230
- D. 23
Considering our calculation, we can see that the option that matches our result is A. 2,300.
Hence, the best answer is:
A. 2,300.
