Scientific notation is a way of writing a number that is too big or small to say. ex. 1,850,000,000,000 in scientific notation is 1.85 x 1012 .000000000014 in scientific notation is 1.4 x 10-11 You do this by moving the decimal point until you have a number between 1 and 10. Then you write that number x 10 to the power of the number of spaces you moved the decimal point. If your decimal is moved to the left, your exponent is positive, move it to the right and your exponent is negative.
0.0000034 2460000000 these are not in scientific notation
953 in scientific notation is 9.53 x 10^2
Scientific notation shows things to the power of 10 So 35 in scientific notation is 3.5 x 10 Other examples are 350 is 3.5 x 102
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
Here are the quick examples of the numbers written in scientific notation: 3.4 = 3.4 x 100 34.0 = 3.4 x 10
0.0000034 2460000000 these are not in scientific notation
953 in scientific notation is 9.53 x 10^2
Scientific notation shows things to the power of 10 So 35 in scientific notation is 3.5 x 10 Other examples are 350 is 3.5 x 102
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
yes marks will be deducted if scientific notation is not followed as scientific notation has specific meaning .thus it is better to use scientific convention
Here are the quick examples of the numbers written in scientific notation: 3.4 = 3.4 x 100 34.0 = 3.4 x 10
Less digits are needed for very large numbers or for very small numbers as in the following examples:- 1,000,000,000,000,000 = 1.0*1015 in scientific notation 0.000000001 = 1.0*10-9 in scientific notation
5, 800,000 and -23.5
Examples: 4120Ca, Ca-41, calcium-41; only the first is a scientific notation.
There is no such law. "Scientific notation" is a convention (not a law), that lets you write very large or very small numbers in a brief way (without writing lots of zeros). You can find details, and examples, in the Wikipedia article on "Scientific notation".
It has the same meaning as scientific notation for instance 123,000,000 is 1.23*108 when in standard form or scientific notation
Scientific notation is a compact way of writing very large and very small numbers.
