How will you express a standard notation to scientific notation?

Answer 1

That all depends on the given value for the problem.

• If the leading digit occurs before the ones digit, then the exponent of base 10 is positive. For instance, 12.0 is 1.2 x 10.
• If the leading digit occurs after the ones digit, then the exponent of base 10 is negative. For instance, 0.01 is 1.0 x 10-2.
• Otherwise, if the leading digit occurs on the ones digit, such as 1.0, then the exponent of base 10 is zero.
