Scientific notation is a way of representing numbers, usually very large or very small, in the form a*10^b where 1 <= |a| < 10 is a decimal number and b is an integer (negative or positive). a is called the mantissa and b is called the exponent. To convert a number to scientific notation: · If the number has no decimal point, then add one at the end. · Then move the decimal point to just after the first digit while counting the number of places you have moved it. · The mantissa of the new number, formed after moving the decimal point is a. · If the original number is negative, then so is a. · The number of places to the left that the decimal point was moved is b. If it was moved to the right, then bis negative. For example: 23045.06 becomes 2.304506*10^4 -23045.06 becomes -2.304506*10^4 0.00023004 becomes 2.3004*10^-4 To convert a number in scientific notation to normal form: · If b is positive, move the decimal point b places to the right in the number a – adding 0s at the end of the number, if required. · If b is negative, move the decimal point b places to the left in the number a – adding 0s immediately after the decimal point, if required. · The final expression has the same sign (+ or -) as a in the scientific form. For example: 4.56*10^5 = 456000. -4.56*10^5 = -456000. 4.56*10^-5 = 0.0000456

Is standard notation scientific notation?

It is one of the great ironies of Mathematics that "standard" is not standard. In the US, standard notation is a number, like 953, which would be written in scientific notation as 9.53 x 10^2 In Britain, scientific notation is also known as "standard form."


How do you do standard notation on a TI 84?

To enter numbers in standard notation on a TI-84 calculator, you can use the &quot;EE&quot; notation for scientific notation. For example, to input ( 3.2 \times 10^4 ), type 3.2, then press the 2nd button followed by the EE button, and finally enter 4, resulting in 3.2EE4. This will display the number in standard notation. To convert a number to standard notation, you can also use the Mode settings to switch to scientific notation if needed.
