Scientific Notation 0806.2.1 Recognize and use scientific notation.
How wide is our universe? 210,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles (22 zeros) This number is written in decimal notation. When numbers get this large, it is easier to write them in scientific notation. 2.1 x 1023
When using Scientific Notation, there are two kinds of exponents: positive and negative Positive Exponent: 2.35 x 108 Negative Exponent: 3.97 x 10-7
When changing scientific notation to standard notation, the exponent tells you how you should move the decimal: With a positive exponent, move the decimal to the right: 4.08 x 103 = 4 0 8 Don’t forget to fill in your zeroes!
When changing scientific notation to standard notation, the exponent tells you how you should move the decimal: With a negative exponent, move the decimal to the left: 4.08 x 10-3 = 4 0 8 Don’t forget to fill in your zeroes!
An easy way to remember this is: • If an exponent is positive, the number gets larger, so move the decimal to the right. • If an exponent is negative, the number gets smaller, so move the decimal to the left.
The exponent also tells how many spaces to move the decimal: 4.08 x 103 = 4 0 8 In this problem, the exponent is +3, so the decimal moves 3 spaces to the right.
The exponent also tells how many spaces to move the decimal: 4.08 x 10-3 = 4 0 8 In this problem, the exponent is -3, so the decimal moves 3 spaces to the left.
Try changing these numbers from Scientific Notation to Standard Notation: • 9.678 x 104 • 7.4521 x 10-3 • 8.513904567 x 107 • 4.09748 x 10-5 96780 .0074521 85139045.67 .0000409748
When changing from Standard Notation to Scientific Notation: 1) First, move the decimal after the first whole number: 3 2 5 8 2) Second, add your multiplication sign and your base (10). 3 . 2 5 8 x 10 3) Count how many spaces the decimal moved and this is the exponent. 3 . 2 5 8 x 10 3 3 2 1
When changing from Standard Notation to Scientific Notation: 4) See if the original number is greater than or less than one. • If the number is greater than one, the exponent will bepositive. 348943 = 3.48943 x 105 • If the number is less than one, the exponent will be negative. .0000000672 = 6.72 x 10-8
