  1. Scientific Notation for Very Large and Very Small Numbers

  2. Example #1 The world’s population is reported to be 7.094 billion in the year 2011. Write this number in scientific notation. 7.094  1,000,000,000 7.094  109

  3. Example #2 The thickness of a human hair is said to be 6.9  10 -21 of a meter. Write this number in standard notation. 0.0000000000000000000069

  4. Example #3 If you want to find a very large number and you think of diameter of the earth, what units would give you the large number you want? What would you search to find this measurement? You should choose very small units such as mm, cm, or inches. You should search “ diameter of the earth in inches.”

  5. Example #4 Now let’s think about a possible small number. Here are some possibilities which one do you think will give you a negative exponent if written in scientific notation? The length of an ant measured in mm. The length of a caterpillar in miles. About 6 mm About 0.000142 miles
