So, in Math I am learning Scientific Notation. Can someone show an example and some tips for me as well as the steps to remember how to turn things into and out of the Scientific Notation form? Thanx a bunch!

Sagot :

You know how decimals are really long to write, like 0.00000000089?  Well, with scientific notation, you can shorten them.  Take the decimal I wrote for instance.  Using scientific notation, I can change it to 8.9 * 10^-10.  The decimal is shortened, and according to the exponent, 10^-10, we move the decimal place for 8.9 to the left ten places, leaving us with 0.00000000089.
