    6) Scientific Notation

    Uploaded by

    Ma. Alyzandra G. Lopez
    Scientific notation is a way of writing very large or small numbers in a standardized form. It involves writing a number as the product of a coefficient between 1 and 10 and a power of 10. The sign of the exponent indicates whether to move the decimal point to the left or right. Examples are provided of converting numbers between standard and scientific notation forms. Steps are outlined for ensuring numbers written in scientific notation adhere to the proper form of having a coefficient between 1 and 10.

    FORM:
    N x 10 n
    where,
    N is a coefficient between 1 and 10 (it can be
    1, but never 10) and;
    n is either a positive or a negative exponent (how
    many places to move the decimal point).
    Helpful Hint (Standard Form)
    UNIT
    The sign of the exponent tells which
    ONE
    Education
    Plan direction to move the decimal. A
    positive exponent means move the
    decimal to the right, and a
    negative exponent means move
    the decimal to the left.

    Helpful Hint (Number)

    If you move the decimal to the


    right it means that your exponent is
    negative, and if you move the
    decimal to the left it means that
    your exponent is positive.
