Representing numbers in scientific notation Rule: Change the number to a number between 1 and 10 by moving the decimal. Then multiply that number by a power of 10 Format: __ • ____ x 10 ----

Scientific Notation Procedure: 1) Move the decimal to make a number between 1 and 9. 2) Count how many places you moved and multiply by that power of 10. 3. If the number (in standard form) is between zero and one, it has a negative exponent.

Scientific Notation Example 1 Write 75, 800 in scientific notation.

Example # 2 Write. 000346 in scientific notation.

Standard form to Scientific notation Places to the left (really big numbers): positive exponent Places to the right (really small numbers: negative exponent

Independent Practice 1) Write 2, 220, 000 in scientific notation. 2) Write 0. 0000281 in scientific notation. 3) Write 0. 0121 in scientific notation.

What if a number is in scientific notation, and we want to put it back in standard form?

Just reverse the process!

Scientific Notation to Standard Form To go from scientific notation to standard form: 1) Move the decimal the same number of spaces as the exponent. 2) Positive exponent: move to the RIGHT 3) Negative exponent: move to the LEFT
