The mantissa must be a number in the interval [1, 10).
It is 3*108 metres/second.
No because first digit must start with 1. to 9. and not 32.
Scientific notation is a way to express numbers that are either very small or very large. In traditional notation the first kind would have a lot of 0s between the decimal point and the first significant digit whereas the second kind would have a large number of trailing 0s. The need for scientific notation arose from advances in various branches of science: atomic particles in physics or chemistry, astronomical or cosmological distances, size of single cell animals. Nowadays, even non-scientific values such as population, national debts (of some countries) could usefully utilize scientific notation.
Scientific notation is a way of writing large and small numbers
So they can reduce those really big numbers into really small numbers, such as 968,000 times 10 which can be noted as 9.68 times 105.They use scientific notation in the same way as other scientists use scientific notation.
The answer depends onwhat you wish to do with the number(s) in scientific notation andwhat you consider to have been step 1.
3.47 x 10 -74.1 x 10 to the second power
Scientific Notation is another form of writing a large number (actually..any number) The first number must be less than 10, while the second number has to be 10 to any power. 21.9 in scientific notation would be...... 2.19 X 10^1 **10^1 = 10... 2.19 X 10 = 21.9 the first number is less than ten the second number is ten to the first degree
The first step to writing a number in scientific notation is to divide that number by a power of 20 such that the greatest place value is the units. In this case, this can be done by dividing by 100: 321/100=3.21 This is the start of our answer. The second part is to express the number we divided by as its power of 10. 100 is the second power of ten, or 102, so we need to write this alongside the number as a multiplication. Thus, 321 in scientific notation is 3.21x102
To convert a number to scientific notation do as follows: 5800000 = 5.8 x 10^6 Put a decimal between the first and second number then from that second number count to the right. The number you have when you finish counting is the number that is in the power position.
It is 3*108 metres/second.
To express 100th of a second in scientific notation, we write it as 1 x 10^-2 seconds.
6,420
Exponents play a big part in scientific notation because when you write in scientific notation, the first factor must be n between 1 and 10 and the second factor must be the number ten and an exponent. For example, a number in standard form would be 47,000, but in scientific notation, it would be 4.7 x 10 to the 4 power. Another example would be: Standard Form:0.0089 Scientific Notation: 8.9 x 10 to the -3 power.
Scientific notation is when you remove all the zeros from the number so you end up with 789. Then you put a decimal between the first and second numbers. After that you put a x10 then count all the zeros and put it to that power.
To write a number in scientific notation you first need to multiply it by a power of 10 until the only digits that remain are units and decimals. In this case, we multiply by 100 to give 4.68. We multiplied by 100, and 100 is the second power of 10, or 102 so 0.0468 in full scientific notation is 4.68x102
2x10)to the second power)
