Scientific Notation

2.85 x 106 *Basically, place a decimal point after the first digit (2) and then write down any number that follows that is not a zero (.85). Then, multiply by 10. To calculate to 'what power,' count the number of digits after the decimal point that remain in the original number. (2.850000= 6 digits past the decimal point.)

Check your work by multiplying your new number. In other words, 106 is 1,000,000. Does 2.85 x 1,000,000= 2,850,000? It does, and the answer is correct. Be careful though, if you get a number like 2,850,040. You'll need to include the number 4 that is past the first zero. (ie. 2.8504 x 106)

The scientific notation for 250100000 is 2.501 × 10^8

The number 0.00025 can be expressed in scientific notation as 2.5 x 10^-4.

7.14 can be written in scientific notation as 7.14 x 10^0.

600.00001 = 6.0000001 x 10^2 but there is no benefit in writing this way.

In scientific notation, a number is represented as the product of a coefficient and a power of 10. The coefficient is a decimal number between 1 and 10, and the power of 10 indicates the number of places the decimal point is moved. For example, in the number 4.2 x 10^3, "4.2" is the coefficient and "3" is the power of 10.

Scientific notation for 612.00 is 6.12 x 10^2.

To write 0000045 in scientific notation, you need to move the decimal point to the right until there is a nonzero digit to its left. In this case, it would be 4.5. Since you moved the decimal point five places to the right, the exponent will be -5. Therefore, 0000045 in scientific notation is 4.5 x 10^(-5).

It is 5*10^4.

521 in scientific notation is written as 5.21 x 10^2.

68 billion in scientific notation is written as 6.8 x 10^10.

The scientific notation of 0.089 is 8.9 x 10^-2.

234000 in scientific notation is written as 2.34 x 10^5.

To write 10080 in scientific notation, move the decimal point after the first non-zero digit and count the number of places shifted. In this case, 10080 can be written as 1.0080 × 10^4 in scientific notation.

The approximate number of cells in the human body is 3.72 x 10^13.

516 in scientific notation is written as 5.16 x 10^2.

The scientific notation of a x 10^b is a multiplied by 10 raised to the power of b. This notation is used to represent numbers that are very large or very small and helps to express them in a more compact form.

9.357 X 10^2 will do it.

--

You first decide on the number of significant digits. In other words, if you need to round it.

Then you write one digit before the decimal point (if you have more than 1 significant digit) and follow with the power of 10 to make up for the scale:

With 4 significant digits, it would be 9.357 * 10^2.

Sometimes, this is written as 9.357E2.

With 3 significant digits, it would be 9.36 * 10^2.

With 2 significant digits, it would be 9.4 * 10^2.

With 1 significant digit, it would be 9 * 10^2.

0.000000008 in scientific notation is 8 x 10^(-9).

64.1 in scientific notation is 6.41 x 10^1.

0.00014 in scientific notation is 1.4 x 10^-4

0.0325 can be written in scientific notation as 3.25 x 10^-2.

924 in scientific notation is written as 9.24 x 10^2.

4.7 x 10-4 is a decimal number written in scientific notation. It can also be written as 0.00047.

The choice of 10 as the base in scientific notation is mainly due to historical reasons and the fact that humans use a decimal system in everyday life. Using base 10 in scientific notation allows for easy conversion between powers of 10 and ordinary numbers, making calculations and comparisons more intuitive. Additionally, the vast majority of scientific measurements and quantities tend to fall within a range that can be adequately represented using powers of 10.
