Answer:
B < C < A < D
Explanation:
The following numbers increase from the lowest exponent to the greatest exponent, as exponents show the overall magnitude of each number. For example, we may simply convert each number into a standard form rather than a scientific one:
a. [tex]1.7\cdot 10^2 = 170[/tex]
b. [tex]1.7\cdot 10^{-3} = 0.0017[/tex]
c. [tex]1.04\cdot 10^{-2} = 0.0104[/tex]
d. [tex]101103[/tex] = 1.01103\cdot 10^5[/tex]
Comparing either scientific forms or standard forms, we see a trend:
[tex]0.0017 < 0.0104 < 170 < 101103[/tex]
