Scientific Notation
![Page 77: Scientific Prefixes, Roots & Suffixes](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166b6550346895ddabc84/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
The Distance From the Sun to the Earth
93,000,000 milesWhen numbers get this large, it is easier to write
them in scientific notation.
![Page 78: Scientific Prefixes, Roots & Suffixes](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166b6550346895ddabc84/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Why use scientific notation?
• For very large and very small numbers, these numbers can be converted into scientific notation to express them in a more concise form.
• Numbers expressed in scientific notation can be used in a computation with far greater ease.
![Page 79: Scientific Prefixes, Roots & Suffixes](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166b6550346895ddabc84/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Scientific notation consists of two parts:
• A number between 1 and 10 (coefficient)
• A power of 10
N x 10x
![Page 80: Scientific Prefixes, Roots & Suffixes](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166b6550346895ddabc84/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
To change standard form(real) to scientific notation…
• Place decimal point so that there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point.
• Count the number of decimal places the decimal point has “moved” from the original number. This will be the exponent on the 10.
• Exponent is negative when moved to the right.
![Page 81: Scientific Prefixes, Roots & Suffixes](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166b6550346895ddabc84/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Try It!
Write 124 in scientific notation.
1. First write "1.24". This is not the same number, but (1.24)(100) = 124 is, and
2. 100 = 102. Then, in scientific notation, 124 is written as 1.24 × 102
![Page 82: Scientific Prefixes, Roots & Suffixes](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166b6550346895ddabc84/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Example 1
• Given: 289,800,000• Use: 2.898 (moved 8 places)• Answer: 2.898 x 108
![Page 83: Scientific Prefixes, Roots & Suffixes](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166b6550346895ddabc84/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Example 2
• Given: 0.000567• Use: 5.67 (moved 4 places)• Answer: 5.67 x 10-4
![Page 84: Scientific Prefixes, Roots & Suffixes](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166b6550346895ddabc84/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
To change scientific notation to standard form…
• Simply move the decimal point to the right for positive exponent 10.
• Move the decimal point to the left for negative exponent 10.
(Use zeros to fill in places.)
![Page 85: Scientific Prefixes, Roots & Suffixes](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568166b6550346895ddabc84/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Try It!• Write in standard notation: 3.6 × 1012
• Since the exponent on 10 is positive, move the decimal point to the right, in order to make the number LARGER.
• Since the exponent on 10 is "12", first move the decimal point twelve places over. Make little loops when you count off the places, to keep track:
• Then fill in the loops with zeroes • The number is 3,600,000,000,000, or 3.6 trillion

Example 3
