Anyone can use scientific notation - including women!
200,000 in Scientific Notation = 2 x 105
Using scientific notation reduces the need to write out very large or very small numbers as the following examples show:- 1,000,000,000,000 = 1.0*1012 in scientific notation 0.0000000001 = 1.0*10-10 in scientific notation
The point of using scientific notation is to compute very large or very small numbers.
4000 in scientific notation is 4 x 103
0.0000072 in Scientific Notation = 7.2 x 10-6
375,000 in Scientific Notation = 3.75 x 105
0,000,004.3 in Scientific Notation = 4.3E-06 x 106
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).
Scientific Notation is expressed by using a number, using an exponent as a number (usually a decimal) multiplied by a 10, and an exponent (the number on the exponent is the number of zeros the number has).Example: 120,000,000 in scientific notation is 1.2 X 107
It is: 1.25*104
8.326*107
