Why is it sometimes when you add 2 numbers in scientific notation in your calculator the result is just greater of the two numbers?
This happens because the contribution of the smaller number is lost in the trailing decimal digits.
Suppose you had a calculator that could display 10 digits.
Suppose you tried to add 123,456.789 and 0.000 000 12
The true answer is 123,456.789 000 12
but, since you can only display 10 digits, the answer shows as 123,456.7890 which is the larger number.
The exact details will depend on the number of displayed digits.
What else can I help you with?
When do you use scientific exponent in scientific notation?
When the value that you are representing in scientific notation is less than 1, or greater than or equal to 10.
When a number is written in scientific notation how can you tell whether or not it is equal to or greater then 1?
If the exponent is not negative, then a number written in scientific notation is greater than or equal to 1.
How do you express a number greater than 1 in the scientific notation?
n>1
Whats Using scientific notation to report a measurement is a way of indicating greater?
precison.
What is the scientific notation of 103?
Scientific notation means the number is represented as being greater or equal to one but less than 10. So for 103: 103 = 10.3 x 10 [still greater than 1 but not less than 10] = 1.03 x 102 [greater than or equal to one? Check. Less than 10? Check] So, 103 in scientific notation is: 1.03 x 102
What is the smallest power of 10 that your calculator can display before it switches from decimal notation to exponential notation?
That depends on the calculator model. Typically, a calculator would switch to scientific notation when the number is less than 0.001, or greater than can be shown on screen in normal notation.

What should you can apply in scientific notation?
You can apply scientific notation to any number. However, it usually makes sense to do so if the number is greater than at least one million or smaller than a millionth.
How much greater is 3 billion than 3 million in scientific notation?
It is 9.99*103 times greater. (It is 103 times as great.)
Is the number written in scientific notation 0.15 x 104?
No, the number is not written in scientific notation. In scientific notation, the coefficient should be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. Therefore, 0.15 x 10^4 would be written as 1.5 x 10^3 in scientific notation.
How can you write 60000000 as the product of a number greater than or equal to 1 that is multiplied by a power of 10?
It could be 6.0*10^7 as in scientific notation
Is the number 45.6 x 103 written in scientific notation Explain?
No. For it to be written in true scientific notation, the matissa must be greater than of equal to 1 (it is) and less than 10 (it isn't). The correct form would be 4.56*104
