To convert a number to scientific notation: · If the number has no decimal point, then add one at the end. · Then move the decimal point to just after the first digit while counting the number of places you have moved it. · The mantissa of the new number, formed after moving the decimal point is a. · If the original number is negative, then so is a. · The number of places to the left that the decimal point was moved is b. If it was moved to the right, then b is negative. For example: 23045.06 becomes 2.304506*10^4 -23045.06 becomes -2.304506*10^4 0.00023004 becomes 2.3004*10^-4
It is: 6.0*10^-6 in scientific notation
8
It is: 6.0*10^1
In general, you cannot. If the number in scientific notation has not been rounded then express it is normal form and proceed from there.
228.1 = 2.281 x 102
Sometimes. Scientific notation is used to express very small or very large numbers. If the problem does not involve any such numbers then there is no need for scientific notation.
Scientific notation is not a puzzle or equation that needs to be "solved". You do not "solve" rational fractions - they are just a way of representing numbers. In the same way, scientific notation is simply one way of representing numbers. It is usually used for very large or very small quantities.
7.19 × 10-4 or 7.19E-4
Multiplying each factor by powers of ten
It would depend on what calculation you are solving.
There is no single solution to all questions involving scientific notation. Different questions have different answers and so the question will need to be more specific.
To solve equations in scientific notation, first ensure all terms are expressed in the same format. If necessary, convert numbers from standard form to scientific notation. Perform the arithmetic operations, maintaining the bases and adjusting the exponents according to the rules of exponents. Finally, convert the result back to standard form if needed.
