Question

Apply Scientific Notation to the following examples including large and small decimal numbers

a) 123 =                               

b) 1,230,000 =                      

c) 0.08 =                               

 d) 0.0000000056 =    

Answer 1

1. The number of bold numbers on the left is equal to the power to which 10 is raised on the right.
2. You use positive powers for numbers bigger than 1.
3. You use negative powers for numbers less than 1.
4. In all cases start counting from the decimal point (shown or implied).
5. For numbers less than 1, stop after the non zero number.

123=1.23x10² (123.0=1.23x10²)

1230000=1.23x10⁶ (1230000.0=1.23x10⁶)

0.08=8x10^-2

0.0000000056=5.6x10^-9
