The earth’s population is 6,974 x 106. What is this number in standard form?
In this lesson you will learn how to find the value of a power of ten and write a number in scientific notation by using patterns in zeros.
An exponent is a number that shows how many times the base number is to be used in multiplication. 2 1 4 3 4 2 exponent/power base/coefficient 2 2 x = 16 2 x 2 x
Thinking that you multiply the base number and its exponent. 3 4 4 x 3 = 64 4 x 4 x 4
A power of ten is a special notation, called scientific notation, in which the base number is always ten. 1 1 = 10 x 1 = 10 x 1 = 10 10 2 2 = 10 x 10 = 10 x 10 = 100 10 3 3 10 = 10 x 10 x 10 = 10 x 10 x 10 = 1,000 4 4 10 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10,000 5 5 10 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 100,000
Scientific notation is used with very large or very small numbers. One nonillion, nine hundred ninety octillion kg 1,990,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 199 x 1028 kg
What is the earth’s population in standard form? 6,974 x 106 6 6 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 1,000,000 10 = 6,974 x 1,000,000 6,974 x 6 = 6,974,000,000 10
What is the earth’s population in standard form? 6,974,000,000 people
In this lesson you have learned how to find the value of a power of ten and write a number in scientific notation by using patterns in zeros.
