Scientific Notation

It is a number that needs to be put into scientific notation.

1.31313 x 10^5

To symbolize means to represent.For example,the figure "2" represents a certain numerical value. A design made up of three wedge-shaped pieces representsradioactivity. A cross represents christianity. All of these things are called symbols, a way of representing something complex or abstract by something simple and concrete.

4.47 × 10-8 written in regular notation is 0.0000000447

4.73*10-2

5.050 x 103

3.84*105 kilometres.

5.3 trillion = 5.3 × 1012

0.0000467 in Scientific Notation = 4.67 x 10-5

5,244,000,000 = 5.244e9 or 5.244 x 10^9

1.08^12 = 2.51817011682

You use scientific notation in astronomy to compute very large or very small numbers.

It is 1.85*10^2 in scientific notation

It is 1.0174039342*107.

9,812,046 --> 9.812 * 10^6

You move the decimal point 6 places to the left for larger numbers. You can leave of the decimals if need be or add them all depending on the number of significant figures.

.00012 --> 1.2 * 10^-4

Negative powers shift the decimal point to the right for small numbers.

The number that is being multiplied by 10 MUST be greater than or equal to one or less than ten.

scientific notation

MODEL ON A+

1.5x10^6. In general, when using scientific notation you want to have (some number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10)x10^(the appropriate exponent). So to get the answer, we'd see that 1500000 = 15x10^5 since there are five 0's and then we'd further reduce it to 1.5x10^6.

Standard form (also called scientific notation or exponential notation) is a way of writing numbers that accommodates values too large or small to be conveniently written in standard decimal notation.

9.8 × 1010

9.99 X 10^-12.

5.2 x 10-1
