Question

Describe how to use scientific notation to write a very large number. Give an example written in both standard form and scientific notation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Scientific notation is simply changing a number to x times 10^n, where x is no more than 10 and more than 1.

For example, 134 would be 1.34 times 10^2.

100 = 1.
101 = 10.
102 = 100.
103 = 1,000.
104 = 10,000. When we have large numbers, we can rewrite them as powers of ten. ...
