decimal point exponent
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.
Exponent
The number 0.0000288 in scientific notation is expressed as 2.88 x 10^-5. This format represents the number in a way that highlights its significant figures and scale, with the base being 2.88 and the exponent indicating how many places to move the decimal point to the left.
The exponent indicates how many spaces to move the decimal point to the right (+) or to the left (-) when expanded.
There are four significant figures in the number 0.05730.
4 significant figures
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

The exponent.
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.
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.
