What is the correct way to write 0.00120 in scientific notation?
Scientific notation consists of a number from 1-10, with the multiplication of 10 to the power of (x) for every spot that it takes for the decimal point to make the number 1-10. So to answer your question, 0.00120 in scientific notation would be 1.2 x1000. This is because the decimal point needed to be moved 3 spaces. So 10 times (x), in this 3, creates the formula 10 to the 3rd power. OR just write the number '1' down, and for every spot moved, add a 0. This is much easier (and not to mention FASTER) in my opinion.
What is the scientific notation for the number 192000?
The scientific notation for the number 192,000 can be expressed in these two ways:
- 1.92 × 105
- 1.92E5
What is the scientific notation for seventy nine?
It is 7.9*101 or, more simply, 7.9*10
It is 7.9*101 or, more simply, 7.9*10
It is 7.9*101 or, more simply, 7.9*10
It is 7.9*101 or, more simply, 7.9*10
How do you convert numbers in to scientific notation?
First, you move the decimal to have only one place to the left of the decimal.
Examples:
For 84020000 it would become 8.402
For 0.00021 it would become 2.1
Then you multiply by 10. The 10 is raised to the power of how many times you moved the decimal. If you moved the decimal to the left, you use a positive exponent. If you moved it to the right, it would be a negative exponent.
Using the examples above, you would have:
8.402 x 107
2.1 x 10-4
What is 70000000 in scientific notation?
7.0 × 107
7 times 107 = 700000
700000 in scientific notation is 7 times 10 to the power of 7.
How do you write 673.5x10 in scientific notation?
Shift 2 decimal places to the left, so the exponent for base 10 is 1 + 2 = 3. Therefore, we have 6.735 x 10³.
How do you write 36 in scientific notation?
Thirty-six written in scientific notation would be 3.6 x 101.
How do you write 2042 in scientific notation?
Just remember that there is one digit to the left of the decimal in scientific notation. All the other digits go on the right of the decimal. Then find an appropriate power of ten to write the rest of the number. Your 2042 is 3.76 x 105 in scientific notation.
