When you write a number that is less than 1 in scientific notation how does the power of 10 differ from when you write a number greater than 1 in scientific notation?
Answer : In scientific notation all numbers are written in the form m × 10ⁿ. If the number is less than 1, ten is raised to a negative power, so : m × 10⁻ⁿ.
Example : a decimal number less than 1 is 0.02 = 2 x 10⁻² in scientific notation.
