Scientific Notation

speed of light = 3.0 x 108 m/s

Count how many places you move the decimal point until you get the number 6.7.

If you move the decimal place to the left, the exponent is a positive number, but in this case you have to move the decimal point 5 places to the right so you will have a negative exponent.
Answer: 6.7 x 10-5

10,600,000 in Scientific Notation = 1.06 x 107

9.04 X 10^9

5.67 x 10^6

62100000 in scientific notation is 6.21 x 10^7.

A scientific notation for the number 142.00 is: 1.42 × 102 or 1.42E2

35,000 = 3.5 × 104

1.08 × 109

or

1.08E9

1. When dealing with particularly large numbers (e.g. the distances between planets)
2. When dealing with particularly small numbers (e.g. the width of microorganisms)

11.2 billion = 1.120000e+10

3.56 to the power of 4.

7.31x10^-5

53,000 in Scientific Notation = 5.3 x 104

758,200,003 in Scientific Notation = 7.58200003 x 108

They don't usually.

It is: 4.1*10^4

5.678 x 10^2

7 x 10^-3

0.0000057 = 5.7 x 10^-6

4.65 x 10^2

5.098x106

1.2 x 102

It is: 3.0*10-2 cm

Architects use scientific notation to compute very large or very small numbers.
