Suppose you have two numbers in scientific notation.
· Rename them so that the exponents (powers of 10) are the same,
· add the two mantissae to form the new mantissa, and append the 10 and exponent,
· if the resulting mantissa is less tahn 1 then rename the mantissa and adjust the exponent accordingly.
For the first stage you may rename both numbers or either one.
For example,
3.5*10^4 - 4.5*10^3 = 35*10^3 - 4.5*10^3 = (35-4.5)*10^3 = 30.5*10^3 = 3.05*10^4
20,000 + 3,400,000
Standard notation (in the UK) is the same as scientific notation. So the one rule to use is DO NOTHING!
I don't know what you mean "how to write the rules." In the US, "standard" notation means "long form", i.e. 6,000,000, while "scientific" notation means the exponential form, 6x106. I had thought it was the same in the UK, but Mehtamatics says otherwise: "Standard notation and scientific notation are the same in terms of UK usage of these phrases."
In scientific notation all numbers are written in the form: a*10b where a is a decimal number such that 1 ≤ a < 10 and b is an integer.
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).

1 With addition change the scientific notation back to 'normal numbers' and then add accordingly 2 With subtraction change the scientific back to 'normal numbers' and then subtract accordingly 3 With division subtract the exponents and divide the decimals 4 With multiplication add the exponents and multiply the decimals 5 Note that if changes occur below 1 or greater than 9 in the decimal element of the scientific notation then appropriate adjustments must be made
to convert scientific notation to decimal you count the number of spaces up to the last digit then put the decimal point then put x10 to the power of if how many places you move the decimal point.................................
Scientific notation is of little use for long mathematical expressions. It is used to express very large or very small numbers - not expressions.
It is 8.9*10^-5 in scientific notation
It is "(scientific notation)".
