1 Scientific Notation

2 210,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles (22 zeros) This number is written in standard form. When numbers get this large, it is easier to write them in scientific notation. How wide is our universe?

3 Scientific Notation A number is expressed in scientific notation when it is in the form a x 10 n where a is between 1 and 10 and n is an integer

4 Partner Talk Determine which ones are in Scientific Notation. 0.4 x 10 6 1.3 x 10 3 10 x 10 7 7.45 x 10 8 1 x 10 -3 5.0 x 10 - 5

5 Writing Numbers in Scientific Notation a. 40,000 b..000137c. 4,030 d. 0.028 e. 78f. 0.548

6 a. 6.73 x 10 6 Is this going to be a big or small number?

7 b. 5.925 x 10 2 c. 5.0 x 10 8 Express in Standard Form

8 Is this going to be a big or small number? d. 2.4 x 10 -3

9 e. 6.832 x 10 -5 f. 3.2 x 10 -1 Express in Standard Form

10 g.Multiply 3 x 10 -7 and 9 x 10 3 Multiply With Scientific Notation

11 g.Multiply 3 x 10 -7 and 9 x 10 3 Multiply With Scientific Notation You try… 4 x 10 4 and 6 x 10 6
