How do you put in scientific notation?

Answer 1

It is not possible to answer this question sensibly since it is not clear what you mean by "simplifying scientific notation". Scientific notation is normally used for very small or very large values. In these circumstances the scientific notation is, by far, the simplest notation. So simplification would require doing nothing!

Answer 2

You convert your number to the form a x 10b, where a is usually between 1 and 10 (but less than 10), and b is an integer.

Answer 3

Suppose you have two numbers in scientific notation.

• Rename them so that the exponents (powers of 10) are the same,
  
• add the two mantissae to form the new mantissa, and append the 10 and exponent,
  
• if the resulting mantissa is 10 or greater then rename the mantissa and adjust the exponent accordingly.
  

For the first stage you may rename both numbers or either one.

For example,

3.5*10^3 + 4.5*10^4 = 3.5*10^3 + 45*10^3 = (3.5+45)*10^3 = 48.5*10^3 = 4.85*10^4
or
3.5*10^3 + 4.5*10^4 = 0.35*10^4 + 4.5*10^4 = (0.35+4.5)*10^4 = 4.85*10^4

Answer 4

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 b is negative. For example: 23045.06 becomes 2.304506*10^4 -23045.06 becomes -2.304506*10^4 0.00023004 becomes 2.3004*10^-4

Answer 5

A number in scientific notation is written as a * 10b where 1 ≤ a < 10 (although a can be negative with the domain reversed) and b is an integer (negative or positive).

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 new number, formed after moving the decimal point 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 b is negative.

For example:

23045.06 becomes 2.304506*104

0.00023004 becomes 2.3004*10-4

Answer 6

Scientific notation is a way of representing numbers, usually very large or very small, in the forma*10b 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 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*105 = 456000. -4.56*105 = -456000. 4.56*10-5 = 0.0000456

Answer 7

Suppose you have two numbers in scientific notation.

· Rename them so that the exponents (powers of 10) are the same, · add the two mantissae to form the new mantissa, and append the 10 and exponent, · if the resulting mantissa is 10 or greater then rename the mantissa and adjust the exponent accordingly.
For the first stage you may rename both numbers or either one.

For example,

3.5*103 + 4.5*104 = 3.5*103 + 45*103 = (3.5+45)*103 = 48.5*103 = 4.85*104
or
3.5*103 + 4.5*104= 0.35*104+ 4.5*104= (0.35+4.5)*104= 4.85*104

Answer 8

To change a mixed number to scientific notation, convert the mixed number to a decimal.

309 and 3/4 = 309.75 = 3.0975 x 10^2

Answer 9

you take the number next to the 10 and move the decimal point back over that many places

Answer 10

You convert your number to the form a x 10b, where a is usually between 1 and 10 (but less than 10), and b is an integer.
