HOW DO convert scientific notation to decimalnumbers?
The exponent tells you how many spaces to move the decimal, remember to add zeros as needed. If the exponent is negative make it a decimal number less than one by moving the decimal to the left. If the exponent is positive make the decimal number greater than one by moving the decimal to the right.
When doing scientific notation is it negative if you move left?
No, if you shift the decimal point to the left, the exponent of base 10 is positive. The exponent of base 10 is negative if you shift the decimal point to the right.
How do you do scientific notation with decimals?
2400 = 2.4 x 10^3 0.0024 = 2.4 x 10^-3 Move the decimal to the left, positive exponent. Move the decimal to the right, negative exponent.
What does it mean if the number written in scientific notation has a negative exponent?
It means that the decimal point has to move to the left.
What is 0.0000105 in scientific notation?
A number in scientific notation should have one number before the decimal place then two after. You move the decimal so this is true, then the number of places you moved the decimal will be the exponent. If you move the decimal to the right your exponent will be negative, if you move it to the left it will be positive. In this case you would move the decimal 5 places so you have 1.05x10^-5.
