SCIENTIFIC NOTATION A QUICK WAY TO WRITE REALLY

Mathematicians are Lazy!!! They decided that by using powers of 10, they can create

Scientific Notation A number is expressed in scientific notation when it is in the

Soooo 137, 000 can be rewritten as 1. 37 X 8 10

Now You Try Using scientific notation, rewrite the following numbers. 347, 000. 3. 47

Try These 4, 000 4 X 103 2. 48 X 103 2, 480 6.

Your Turn Using Scientific Notation, rewrite the following numbers. 0. 000882 8. 82 X

More Examples 1) 0. 0004 2) 3) 4) 5) 4 X 10 -4 1.

Using your calculator Express 4. 58 x 106 in decimal notation. 4, 580, 000

Use a calculator to evaluate: 4. 5 x 10 -5 1. 6 x 10

Use a calculator to evaluate: 7. 2 x 10 -9 1. 2 x 102

Use a calculator to evaluate (0. 0042)(330, 000). On the calculator, the answer is

Use a calculator to evaluate (3, 600, 000)(23). On the calculator, the answer is:

Write in PROPER scientific notation. (Notice the number is not between 1 and 10)

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION A QUICK WAY TO WRITE REALLY, REALLY BIG OR REALLY, REALLY SMALL NUMBERS.

Mathematicians are Lazy!!! They decided that by using powers of 10, they can create short versions of long numbers.

Scientific Notation A number is expressed in scientific notation when it is in the form a x 10 n where a is from 1 to 9 and n is an integer 23 X 105 is not in proper scientific notation. Why?

Soooo 137, 000 can be rewritten as 1. 37 X 8 10

Now You Try Using scientific notation, rewrite the following numbers. 347, 000. 3. 47 X 105 902, 000. 9. 02 X 108 61, 400. 6. 14 X 104

Try These 4, 000 4 X 103 2. 48 X 103 2, 480 6. 123 X 106 6, 123, 000 306, 000 3. 06 X 108

Your Turn Using Scientific Notation, rewrite the following numbers. 0. 000882 8. 82 X 10 -4 0. 00000059 5. 9 X 10 -7 0. 00004 4 X 10 -5

More Examples 1) 0. 0004 2) 3) 4) 5) 4 X 10 -4 1. 248 X 10 -6. 000001248 6. 123 X 10 -5. 00006123 0. 00000306 3. 06 X 10 -6 0. 000892 8. 92 X 10 -4

Using your calculator Express 4. 58 x 106 in decimal notation. 4, 580, 000 On the graphing calculator, scientific notation is done with the button. 4. 58 x 106 is typed 4. 58 6

Use a calculator to evaluate: 4. 5 x 10 -5 1. 6 x 10 -2 Type 4. 5 -5 1. 6 -2 You must include parentheses if you don’t use those buttons!! (4. 5 x 10 -5) (1. 6 x 10 -2) 0. 0028125 Write in scientific notation. 2. 8125 x 10 -3

Use a calculator to evaluate: 7. 2 x 10 -9 1. 2 x 102 On the calculator, the answer is: 6. E -11 The answer in scientific notation is 6 x 10 -11 The answer in decimal notation is 0. 000006

Use a calculator to evaluate (0. 0042)(330, 000). On the calculator, the answer is 1386 The answer in decimal notation is 1386. The answer in scientific notation is 1. 386 x 103

Use a calculator to evaluate (3, 600, 000)(23). On the calculator, the answer is: 8. 28 E +10 The answer in scientific notation is 8. 28 x 10 10 The answer in decimal notation is 82, 800, 000
