Numbers written in scientific notation are written as two factors. One factor is a number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. The other factor is a power of 10.

To write scientific notation for numbers greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, use a 0 exponent = 5.63 x 10°. Writing Math

EXAMPLE 1 Write numbers in standard form a Exponent is 6. Move decimal point 6 places to the right. b Exponent is – 4. Move decimal point 4 places to the left. = 2,007,500 =

135,  100,000 * Move the decimal from where you want it to where it actually is   = 100,000 5 Write the number in standard notation. A positive exponent means move the decimal to the right, and a negative exponent means move the decimal to the left. Helpful Hint

1.9  100, Divide by the reciprocal. Think: Move the decimal left 5 places. 1.9  10 –5 1.9  10 –5 – = 100,000 Write the number in standard notation. 1.9  1 100,000

EXAMPLE 2 Write numbers in scientific notation a. 42,590,000 = b = Move decimal point 7 places to the left. Exponent is 7. Move decimal point 5 places to the right. Exponent is – 5.

Example 2A: Translating Standard Notation to Scientific Notation Write in scientific notation.

Check It Out: Example 2B Think: The decimal needs to move left to change 8.11 to , so the exponent will be negative Think: The decimal needs to move 4 places to get a number between 1 and  10 Set up scientific notation. Check 8.11  10 = 8.11  = –4 Write in scientific notation. So written in scientific notation is 8.11  10 –4.

GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 1 and 2 Write the number 539,000 in scientific notation. Then write the number – 4 in standard form , = – 4 =

Compute with numbers in scientific notation EXAMPLE 4 Evaluate the expression. Write your answer in scientific notation. a. ( )( ) ( ) ( )= = ( ) = (10 1 ) = 10 8 Commutative property and associative property Product of powers property Write in scientific notation. Associative property = Product of powers property

Compute with numbers in scientific notation EXAMPLE 4 b. ( ) – 2 (10 3 ) – 2 = (10 6 ) – = 2.25 Power of a product property Power of a power property 10 −3 c = 10 3 – Product rule for fractions (10 7 ) = 0.75 ( ) – = (10 1 – = 10 7 ) (10 6 ) = 7.5 Quotient of powers property Write 0.75 in scientific notation. Associative property Product of powers property
