standard form=written as normal # ex. 5, 400 scientific notation # written as two factors using power of 10 A number of 1 -9 in front of decimal A power of 10
Example 1 •
RULES – Standard Form Scientific Notation 1. Always start at the DECIMAL (or imaginary decimal ex. 5 is 5. 0) 2. Make scoops from the decimal & Stop when there is only digit of 1 -9 to the left of decimal 3. Count the scoops, NOT the zeros, this is your exponent 4. A standard form # less than one, will have a negative exponent 5. A standard form # greater than 9 will have a positive exponent
Example 2: Write the number in scientific notation 57, 000 0. 00033 6830 0. 000506 25, 000 0. 007
Scientific Notation Standard Form positive exponent means move the decimal to the right, negative exponent means move the decimal to the left.
positive exponent move decimal right, negative exponent move decimal left. Write the number in standard notation. 1. 35 105 1. 35 10 5= 100, 000 1. 35 100, 000 135, 000 Think: Move the decimal right 5 places.
positive exponent move decimal right, negative exponent move decimal left. Write the number in standard notation. 0. 0027 Think: Move the decimal left 3 2. 7 10– 3 places.
