5. Section 2.1 Scientific Notation Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved Using Scientific Notation Any number can be represented as the product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10 (either positive or negative). The power of 10 depends on the number of places the decimal point is moved and in which direction.
