What is 1.07 written in scientific notation?
Since the decimal place is between the leading nonzero digit and the adjacent digit on the right, there is no need to shift the decimal point. Therefore, 1.07 in scientific notation is:
1.07 * 100
How can you tell if something is not in scientific notation?
Scientific notation is a way of representing numbers, usually very large or very small, in the form
a*10b where 1 ≤ |a| < 10 is a decimal number and b is an integer (negative or positive).
a is called the mantissa and b is called the exponent.
So if |a| > 1
or |a| ≥ 10
or the base for the exponent is not 10 (however, it may be written as E for example a*Eb)
or b is not an integer
then the number is not in scientific notation.
What is the scientific notation of 3.358?
3.358 X 100
========
Think about it. 100 = 1, so 1 * 3.358 = 3.358!
What is scientific notation of 0.8503?
It is 8.503*10-1.
It is 8.503*10-1.
It is 8.503*10-1.
It is 8.503*10-1.
How do you convert 1000000 into scientific notation?
To convert 1000000 into scientific notation, move the decimal point to the left until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. In this case, the decimal point would be moved six places to the left. Thus, 1000000 in scientific notation is written as 1.0 x 10^6.
Can scientific notation be a negative?
Yes, scientific notation can be negative. For example -345 would be -3.45 x 102.
