Scientific notation is a way to express very large or very small numbers. For very large exponent is positive; for very small exponent is negative. For example, 1,000,000 is 1 x 10 to the plus 6 exponent; 0.000001 is 1 x 10 to the negative 6 exponent

∙ 7y agoScientific notation can use both positive and negative exponents. And scientific notation doesn't consist solely of exponents. There is also a base, and a mantissa.

Numbers that are in scientific notation that have a negative exponent are?
Exponents are negative numbers. This is used in math a lot.
When using scientific notation negative exponents are very useful when writing what kinds of numbers?
Very very small numbers as for example 0.00000078 = 7.8*10^-7 in scientific notation
What are real life uses of exponents?
Scientific notation is a way to write very large or very small numbers using exponents. For example 2000 is 2x103 . We can do the same thing with negative exponents and write very small numbers like 1/2000 which is 2x10-3 . So one real life use of exponents in in scientific notation.
Can every number be written in scientific notation?
Yes, except for zero. Numbers larger than 1 have positive exponents, and numbers between 0 and 1 have negative exponents. Negative numbers would just have a '-' in front.
What is 65244.54 in scientific notation with exponents?
6.52445 × 104

Does the negative rule for exponents using scientific notation apply to adding subtracting dividing and multiplying?
Yes, it does.

Why do exponents need to be the same when using scientific notation?
Only if the numbers to be converted into scientific notation are the same otherwise the exponents can vary according to the size the numbers.
Can every number be written in scientific notation?
Yes, except for zero. Numbers larger than 1 have positive exponents, and numbers between 0 and 1 have negative exponents. Negative numbers would just have a '-' in front.
What is 65244.54 in scientific notation with exponents?
6.52445 × 104
How do you find scientific notation?
Move the decimal to the right for positive exponents, and the left for negative exponents. 1.23 x 10^3 = 1230 1.23 x 10^-3 = 0.00123
When using scientific notation what exponents do you use?
In scientific notation, you use exponents divisible by 3. For example, 12,750 is 12.75 × 10³ instead of 1.275 × 10⁴.
What is 93000000 in exponents?
It is: 9.3*10^7 in scientific notation
When will the exponents be negative in scientific notation?
When the absolute value of the number being expressed is less than 1: that is, the number lies between -1 and +1.
When subtracting numbers in scientific notation what you do with exponents?
yes its really important
