We have learned to express these numbers as powers 10 Scientific notation takes the form of M x 1 On where 1 M < 10 and 'n" represents the number of decimal places to be moved Positive n indicates the standard form is a large number Negative n indicates a number between zero and one Example 1 : Convert 1,00,000 to scientific notation We move the decimal point so that there is only one digit to its left, a total of 6 places, 1,00,000 1 x lo6 Example : Convert to scientific notation For this, we move the decimal point places to the right x 10 Note that when a number starts out less than one, the exponent is always negative Convert the following to scientific notation 3SF Use X , Convert the following to standard notation ,x x chemistry F8766 Fair, nc
