Whether the number is positive or negative is not relevant. What matters is the sign of the exponent. If THAT is positive then the decimal point is moved to the right.
Yes - you can always convert numbers to scientific notation - whether they're whole numbers, or decimals.
It took me forever to learn scientific notation because of how the exponents seem backwards. When you move the decimal to the left (towards the negative numbers in a line) your exponent will be positive. When you move the decimal to the right (towards the positive numbers in line) your exponent will be negative. So since we need a number between 1-9 in order have scientific notation we have to move our decimal one place to the left. 10.4 -> 1.04 x 101
first you put a decimal behind the first whole or non zero number then how ever many spacesyou moved is the positive or negative power of 10
1 or 0
Scientific notation is a way of representing numbers, usually very large or very small, in the forma*10b where 1 ? |a| < 10 is a decimal number and b is an integer (negative or positive).a is called the mantissa and b is called the exponent.

It is scientific notation.
Scientific notation is a way of representing numbers, usually very large or very small, in the forma*10b where 1 ? |a| < 10 is a decimal number and b is an integer (negative or positive).a is called the mantissa and b is called the exponent.
Since .4428 is to the ten thousandths place, and scientific notation only takes an integer, a decimal point and then the numbers after it, the scientific notation would be 4.428 * 10-1
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.
Most of the time, chemists deal with extremely large or extremely small numbers. They use scientific notation to conveniently write these numbers in decimal form.
