Can scientific notation be a negative?

Yes, scientific notation can be negative. For example -345 would be -3.45 x 102.

Why do you need to rewrite the given scientific notation in the same power of 10?

If you are adding or subtracting two numbers in scientific notation the exponents must be the same before adding the coefficients. This is similar to 'like terms' in algebraic expressions. You can't add 5x3 and 3x2 because the exponents are not the same.

What is 0.003 l in scientific notation?

It is 3.1*10^-3 in scientific notation which is equivalent to 0.0031

What is 430 in scientific notation?

4.30 * 102. Although numerically equivalent to 4.3*102 the first shows that the number is accurate to 3 significant figures (if that IS the case), and not 2.

What is the current population of India in standard form or scientific notation?

The current estimated population of India is 1,170,938,000.

In scientific notation, this is expressed at 1.170938 * 10^8,

or, rounding to the nearest ten thousandth, 1.17 * 10^8

What is 2 104 cm and 4 10-12 cm expressed in scientific notation?

Since the numbers are already expressed in the form a x 10ⁿ, 2 x 104 and 4 x 10-12 are already in scientific notation.
