Scientific Notation
Scientific notation is the expression of a number based on the largest exponent of 10 for its value, where the form is a decimal number A x 10n.

How can you scientific notation to solve real world problems?
Scientific notation is useful for very large or very small numbers. If you use such numbers in your "real world", then scientific notation will be very useful. This may be the case, for example, when you work in science or engineering. Otherwise, if you don't work in an area that uses such large or small numbers, you probably won't find much use for them.
Is 10 to the 5th power in scientific notation?
Yes because 10^5 is a scientific notation.....For example 9.2 times 10^5 is equal to 920000
What is the standard form of ninety-four ten thousandths?
It is: 94/10,000 = 9.4*10-4 in standard form or scientific notation
What is 000435 in scientific notation?
First you have to identify the significant figures. Non-zero digits are always significant, but zeroes are significant depending on where they are located. In 000435, you have 3 leadingzeroes in front of 435. Leading zeroes are neversignificant, so you are left with 435 as significant digits. Now we can convert to scientific notation.
Write the first number 4, then a decimal, then the remaining 2 significant digits.
4.35
Now to get back to 435, we need to multiply 4.35 by 10 to get 43.5, and then once again to get 435. This is represented by 10 to the power of 2, 10^2.
The final outcome is 4.35 X 10^2
Where can you find scientific notation being used?
You can find scientific notation being used wherever numbers are very large or very small.
