Scientists often express numbers in scientific notation and solve problems using dimensional analysis.

18. Scientific Notation and Dimensional Analysis
SECTION2.2
Scientific Notation and Dimensional Analysis
Scientific Notation
Scientific notation can be used to express any number as a number between 1 and 10 (known as the coefficient) multiplied by 10 raised to a power (known as the exponent).
Carbon atoms in the Hope Diamond = 4.6 x 1023
4.6 is the coefficient and 23 is the exponent.

19. Scientific Notation and Dimensional Analysis
SECTION2.2
Scientific Notation and Dimensional Analysis
Scientific Notation (cont.)
Count the number of places the decimal point must be moved to give a coefficient between 1 and 10.
The number of places moved equals the value of the exponent.
The exponent is positive when the decimal moves to the left and negative when the decimal moves to the right.
800 = 8.0  102
= 3.43  10–5

20. Scientific Notation and Dimensional Analysis
SECTION2.2
Scientific Notation and Dimensional Analysis
Scientific Notation (cont.)
Addition and subtraction
Exponents must be the same.
Rewrite values to make exponents the same.
Ex x x 1017, you must rewrite one of these numbers so their exponents are the same. Remember that moving the decimal to the right or left changes the exponent.
2.840 x x 1018
Add or subtract coefficients.
Ex x x 1017 = 3.2 x 1018

21. Scientific Notation and Dimensional Analysis
SECTION2.2
Scientific Notation and Dimensional Analysis
Scientific Notation (cont.)
Multiplication and division
To multiply, multiply the coefficients, then add the exponents.
Ex. (4.6 x 1023)(2 x 10-23) = 9.2 x 100
To divide, divide the coefficients, then subtract the exponent of the divisor from the exponent of the dividend.
Ex. (9 x 107) ÷ (3 x 10-3) = 3 x 1010
Note: Any number raised to a power of 0 is equal to 1: thus, 9.2 x 100 is equal to 9.2.

22. Scientific Notation and Dimensional Analysis

Circle graphs show parts of a whole. Bar graphs show how a factor varies with time, location, or temperature.
Independent (x-axis) variables and dependent (y-axis) variables can be related in a linear or a nonlinear manner. The slope of a straight line is defined as rise/run, or ∆y/∆x.
Because line graph data are considered continuous, you can interpolate between data points or extrapolate beyond them.
