Answer:

Scientific notation is about how to write numbers in a standard way.

a number is always written as #.#### x 10ⁿ, where #.### is a number between -9 and +9.

So 3 is written as 3 x 10⁰

33 is written as 3.3 x 10¹

etc...

Explanation:

Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too big or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form.

For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write 5.6 x, 10^-9
