Why do you need to know scientific notation?

You need scientific notation too make really big numbers ,like 15,600,000,000, to an easier way. The scientific notation of 15,600,000,000 is 1.56 x 1010

You also need it to make really small small numbers , like 0.0000064, easier to use in a math problem. the scientific notation of 0.0000064 is 6.4 x10-6

How do you express 450000 in scientific notation?

Note that the term is the same as 450000.0. Then, move 5 decimal places to the left to obtain the positive exponent for base 10. Therefore, the number in scientific notation is:

4.5 x 105

How do you write standard form for seven and eleven hundredths?

Seven and eleven hundredths (7.11) in standard form is 7.11 × 100

Can you have a whole number in scientific notation?

Yes. A whole number is any positive number including zero. Let's say you want to use the whole number 47. The scientific notation for 47 is 4.7 times 101. You can put any number into scientific notation except fractions. You would have to change the fraction to a decimal (if possible) before you could put it into scientific notation.

How do you write 66 million?

It is in numbers: 66,000,000 or as 6.6*107 in scientific notation

What is 700000000000 in scientific notation?

7 X 1011

The zeros are superfluous, except in significant figures.

What is the result of (6.2 104) x (3.3 102) expressed in scientific notation?

(6.2 × 10⁴) × (3.3 × 10²)

= (6.2 × 3.3) × (10⁴ × 10²)

= 20.46 × 10⁴⁺²

= (2.046 × 10¹) × 10⁶

= 2.046 × (10¹ × 10⁶)

= 2.046 × 10¹⁺⁶

= 2.046 × 10⁷

How do you type scientific notation?

(number) X 10^(power)

example

2.343 X 10^8

----------------------------

1450 = 1.45 x 103

basically you shift the decimal place over to the left and stop just before the last number. Multiply this new number by 10 to the power of the number of decimal places you shifted by.

0.00145 = 1.45 x 10-3

its the same thing for decimal numbers except you shift the decimal place to the right and stop just after the first number greater than 0. you multiply this number by 10 to the negative power of the number of decimal places you shifted by.
