The exponent in scientific notation tells you how many places to move the?
decimal point exponent
What is the difference of exponent and scientific notation?
scientific notation tells how many times you will move or add zero either left(positive) or right (negative). exponent tells you how many times you will multiply its coefficient.
What tells you how many places to move the decimal point in scientific notation?
Exponent
The number 221.5 contains how many scientific figures?

How many scientific figures are in 0.05730?
There are four significant figures in the number 0.05730.
What is the significance of the exponent to which 10 is raised when using scientific notation?
The exponent indicates how many spaces to move the decimal point to the right (+) or to the left (-) when expanded.
How many scientific figures are in the measurement 0.020 km?
2
What does the exponent tell you in a number written in scientific notation?
The exponent in the scientific equation tells you how many decimals to go over because you are multiplying 10 that many number of times. For example, if the number were 1.056 X 107 the number in regular format would be 10,560,000
What is the smallest raised number in a power that tells how many times the base is used as a factor?
The exponent.
How many signicant figures are in 0.032?
There are two significant figures. In scientific notation 0.032 = 3.2 x 10^-2 → it has 2 sig fig.
The in scientific notation tells you how many places to move the decimal?
The exponent of 10 tells you how many places to move the decimal point to the left if it is minus or to the right if it is plus.
What is a scientific notion?
a way to make very large or small numbers easier to work with. Ex. 4,000 in scientific notation is 4 x 103. Also, .0004 would be 4 x 10-4. A positive exponent represents how many spaces you move the decimal point to the left. A negative exponent shows how many spaces you move the decimal to the right.
