Scientific Notation is used to express very large and very small numbers so that problem solving will be easier. Examples: The mass of one gold atom is . 000 000 327 grams. One gram of hydrogen contains 602 000 000 hydrogen atoms. Scientists can work with very large and very small numbers more easily if the numbers are written in scientific notation.

How to Use Scientific Notation • In scientific notation, a number is written as

How to Use Scientific Notation • In scientific notation, a number is written as the product of two numbers…. . A coefficient and 10 raised to a power.

The number 4, 500 is written in scientific notation as ________. 4. 5 x

The number 4, 500 is written in scientific notation as ________. 4. 5 x 103 The coefficient is _______. 4. 5 The coefficient must be a number greater than or equal to 1 and smaller than 10. The power of 10 or exponent in this example is _____. 3 The exponent indicates how many times the coefficient must be multiplied by 10 to equal the original number of 4, 500.

Rules to Remember! If a number is greater than 10, the exponent will be

Rules to Remember! If a number is greater than 10, the exponent will be _____ and is equal to positive the number of places the decimal must be moved to right the _____ to write the number in scientific notation.

Rules to Remember! If a number is less than 1, the exponent will be

Rules to Remember! If a number is less than 1, the exponent will be ______ and is equal to negative the number of places the decimal must be moved to the _______ to write the left number in scientific notation.

A number will have an exponent of zero if: …. the number is equal

A number will have an exponent of zero if: …. the number is equal to or greater than 1, but less than 10.

To write a number in scientific notation: 1. Move the decimal to the right

To write a number in scientific notation: 1. Move the decimal to the right of the first non-zero number. 2. Count how many places the decimal had to be moved. 3. If the decimal had to be moved to the right, the exponent is positive 4. If the decimal had to be moved to the left, the exponent is negative. To emphasize again: The exponent counts how many places you move the decimal to the left or right.

Using Scientific Notation in Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction Scientists must be able to

Using Scientific Notation in Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction Scientists must be able to use very large and very small numbers in mathematical calculations. As a student in this class, you will have to be able to multiply, divide, add and subtract numbers that are written in scientific notation. Here are the rules.

***VERY IMPORTANT*** When computing with Scientific Notation, sometimes you have to change the exponent.

***VERY IMPORTANT*** When computing with Scientific Notation, sometimes you have to change the exponent. To do so, count how many times you need to move the decimal. à If you move the decimal forward, ADD that number to the exponents. à If you move the decimal backward, SUBTRACT that number to the exponents
