What is 435 billion in scientific notation?
First write it out.
435 billion is 435,000,000,000
Now put a decimal at the end (as long as one did not exist already)
435,000,000,000.
Now move that decimal till it is after the first digit and count how many spots you just moved it.
4.35000000000 (moved 11 spots)
so now we do this
4.35 x 10^11
x 10 ^ k is how you write scientific notation the k is the number of spots you moved it.
More explanation is needed for decimals but you didn't ask for that - so save that for another time.
So, answer to your question 4.35 x 10^11 or on your calculator it may appear 4.35E11
What is 0.00086 in scientific notation?
8.6*10-4
For numbers that follow zeros to the right of the decimal, you start to the right of the first non-zero digit and place the decimal there.
0.0008.6
Then you count the number of digits between the original decimal and the new decimal. This number is the exponent on 10.
0.0008.6 Exponent=-4
Now you have all the information you need. First you put the number you created in the first part (8.6), then you multiply it by 10exponent.
8.6*10-4
What is the scientific notation of the population of the earth?
7.0 x 109 (approximate, roughly estimated, rounded)
Numbers that are in scientific notation that have a negative exponent are?
Exponents are negative numbers. This is used in math a lot.
