Question

Scientific notation in standard form

Answer 1

Take the number of the exponent and move the decimal that many places. If it is positive move it left and if it is negative move it right.

For Example:

2.57x10³= 2570

Fill in any access spaces with zero.

Taking that same number to the negative 3 power

2.57x10^-3

0.00257

I put a 0. to show it is a distinctive decimal.
