Presentation Transcript

  1. Scientific Notation • What does the sun weigh? • 4,400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 lbs. • How much hydrogen does the sun burn each second? • 600,000,000 metric tons

  2. Scientific Notation • How much longer will the sun burn? • 6,000,000,000 years.

  3. Scientific Notation • Let’s look at these large Numbers • 4,400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 lbs. • 600,000,000 metric tons • 6,000,000,000 years • Each of these numbers can be written in a different form called Scientific Notation

  4. Scientific Notation • Scientific Notation is made up of 2 parts. • 1st Part = a number between 1 and 10 • 2nd Part = x 10 to some power • If it doesn’t have both parts, it is NOT Scientific Notation.

  5. Scientific Notation • Let’s change these large Numbers to Scientific Notation….. • 4,400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 lbs. • 4.4 x 1030 lbs. • Place the decimal pt. after the first # and then count to the end.

  6. Scientific Notation • 600,000,000 metric tons • 6.0 x 10? • 6.0 x 108 metric tons • 6,000,000,000 years • 6.0 x 109 years

  7. Change to Scientific Notation • 1570 • Place the decimal just after the first number. 1.570 • Then count the # of places 1570 = 1.57 x 103

  8. Change to Scientific Notation • 832,000,000 • Place the decimal just after the first number. • Then count the # of places • 832,000,000 =8.32 x 108

  9. Change to Scientific Notation • 2450 = 2.45 x 103 • 765,000,000 = 7.65 x 108 • 0.000722 = 7.22 x 10-4 Notice that if the decimal moves right the exponent is negative and if it moves left, the decimal is positive.

  10. Change to Scientific Notation • 0.000722 • Place the decimal just after the first number. • Then count the # of places. • 000722 = 7.22 x 10-4

  11. Change to Standard Notation • Now let’s go backwards and change from Scientific Notation to Standard Notation.

  12. Change to Standard Notation • 4.53 x 105 • Move the decimal point 5 places to the right. • 453000 = 453,000

  13. Scientific Notation • (5 x 103)(4 x 105) • 5 x 4 = 20 • 103 x 105 = 108 • 20 x 108 Now convert to Scientific Notation 2.0 x 109

  14. Try this one • 820,000,000 8.2 Place the point after the 1st # Count to the end 8.2 x 108

  15. Try this one • (6 x 102)(3 x 107) • 6 x 3 = 18 • 102 x 107 = 109 • 18 x 109 Now convert to Scientific Notation 1.8 x 1010

  16. Try this one • (5 x 103)2 = • (5 x 103) (5 x 103) • 5 x 5 = 25 • 103 x 103 = 106 • 25 x 106 = 2.5 x 107
