Question

Write a standard number with no decimals and convert it into Scientific notation

Answer 1

To convert a standard number to scientific notation, count the number of decimal places moved, determine the sign of the exponent, and multiply the written number by 10 raised to the power of the number of decimal places moved.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write a standard number in scientific notation, count the number of places needed to move the decimal point to make the number between 1 and 10. If you moved the decimal to the left, the exponent is positive. If you moved the decimal to the right, the exponent is negative. Multiply the written number by 10 raised to the power of the number of decimal places moved.

For example:

1. a. 8,099 x 107 => 8.099 x 1010
2. b. 34.5 x 102 => 3.45 x 103
3. c. 0.000332 x 104 => 3.32 x 10-6
