How do you subtract two negative scientific notation numbers and come out with a negative scientific notation number?
StefanG96
if the smaller negative sci notation # being subtracted from the larger
example:
(-1.0x10^0) - (-2.0x10^0) is the same as -1-(-2)= -1 + 2 = 1

How can you express negative numbers in scientific notation?
Write the mantissa as a negative number.
When using scientific notation negative exponents are very useful when writing what kinds of numbers?
Very very small numbers as for example 0.00000078 = 7.8*10^-7 in scientific notation
What is the scietific notation of this number 0.000000048?
Scientific notation is a math term you learn in school. It is used to abbreviate large numbers. 0.000000048 written in scientific notation is 48x10 to the negative 8th power.
Is scientific numbers and scientific notation the same?
No. Scientific numbers are constants that appear in science. They may or may not require scientific notation.

What is the difference between scientific notation and negative exponents?
Scientific notation is a way to express very large or very small numbers. For very large exponent is positive; for very small exponent is negative. For example, 1,000,000 is 1 x 10 to the plus 6 exponent; 0.000001 is 1 x 10 to the negative 6 exponent
What are the rules of adding subtracting dividing and multiplying written in scientific notation?
1 With addition change the scientific notation back to 'normal numbers' and then add accordingly 2 With subtraction change the scientific back to 'normal numbers' and then subtract accordingly 3 With division subtract the exponents and divide the decimals 4 With multiplication add the exponents and multiply the decimals 5 Note that if changes occur below 1 or greater than 9 in the decimal element of the scientific notation then appropriate adjustments must be made
How do you write in numbers in 10 to negative power of six?
It is: 1/1000000 as a fraction or as 1.0*10^-6 in scientific notation
What is the disadvantage of using scientific notation?
If you are adding or subtracting two numbers in scientific notation, you must rewrite one of the numbers to the same power of ten as the other, before performing the addition (or subtraction).
Steps multiplying and adding scientific notation?
To add or subtract two numbers in scientific notation:Step 1: Adjust the powers of 10 in the 2 numbers so that they have the same index. (Tip: It is easier to adjust the smaller index to equal the larger index).Step 2 : Add or subtract the numbers.Step 3 : Give the answer in scientific notation.To divide numbers in scientific notation:Step 1 : Group the numbers together.Step 2 : Divide the numbers.Step 3 : Use the law of indices to simplify the powers of 10.Step 4 : Give the answer in scientific notation.To multiply numbers in scientific notation:1. Multiply the coefficients2.
