Is 35.9x10x23 a valid example for scientific notation?
No, that is engineering notation. 3.59 X 10^24 is the same number in scientific notation.
What is 130000 in scientific notation?
in "scientific" notation: 130000 = (130000 * 10^0) = 1.3 * 10^5 = 1.3e5 in "engineering" notation: 130000 = 0.13 * 10^6 = 0.13e6 in "scientific" notation: 130000 = (130000 * 10^0) = 1.3 * 10^5 = 1.3e5 in "engineering" notation: 130000 = 0.13 * 10^6 = 0.13e6
What is 293000 in scientific notation?
2.93E5, or 2.95 times 10 to the 5th power. The difference between "scientific notation" and "engineering notation" is that scientific notation generally has one digit before the decimal point and can have any exponent, while engineering notation uses exponents divisible by 3; so, 3, 6, 9, 12 and so on. So in "engineering notation", this number would be 293 times 10 to the 3rd power, or 0.293 times ten to the sixth power.
Why do you have scientific notation?
Scientific notation makes it easier to express numbers of extremely small or large magnitude. For example, we could either say that something is .00000000068 meters long, or simply use scientific notation to write it as 6.8 x 10-10 meters. There is also an "engineering" notation which is similar to scientific notation, but all exponents are multiples of 3. This is so we can introduce prefixes such as nano, micro, kilo, giga, etc. The number 573000 would be written as 5.73 x 105 in scientific notation, and 573 x 103 in engineering notation.
What is 77 million in scientific notation?
77 x 107 Added: That is engineering notation, not scientific notation. 7.7 X 10^7 besides, 77 X 10^7 is actually 770,000,000
What is the number 3300 expressed as in scientific notation and engineering notation?
Scientific notation: 3.3*103 And I'm not certain, but I think it is also 3.3*103 in engineering notation
Is 35.9x10x23 a valid example for scientific notation?
No, that is engineering notation. 3.59 X 10^24 is the same number in scientific notation.

Is 53.2 x 10 squared in scientific notation?
No, that is a type of engineering notation. 53.2 X 10^2 = 5.32 X 10^3 ---------------------in scientific notation.
What is 293000 in scientific notation?
2.93E5, or 2.95 times 10 to the 5th power.

What is the difference between scientific notation and engineering notation for writing numbers?
In both notations a number is represented in the form a*10^b where a is a real number and bis an integer.In scientific notation, 1
What is a scientific notation A?
Scientific notation in chemistry is regulated by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry). The URL address is at this link.
Why in engineering you use engineering notation instead of scientific notation?
Sometimes engineers use either scientific or engineering notation, although you are correct that most of the time engineering notation is used. The reason for this the use if greek letter prefixes for quantities. Very often large and small quantities are expressed as micro, mega, giga, nano, and so on. These terms relate to engineering notation in multiples of 1000 or 1/1000. It is a very convenient shorthand not only in writing but also while speaking.

How is scientific notation used in electrical engineering?
When the numbers get very big or very small.
