Vocabulary Scientific Notation – is a product of two numbers. One number is between 1 and 10 and the other is a power of 10. For Example 8 x 10 5
What is the Standard Form? ,000 10, ,000 1x10
What is the Standard Form? Notice the relationship between the exponent and the number of zeroes in the standard form ,000 10, ,000 1x10
What Is the Standard Form? 2 1x , , Notice the relationship between the positive exponent and the placement of the decimal to the right.
What Is the Standard Form? x10
What Is the Standard Form? Notice the relationship between the exponent and the number of zeroes in the standard form x10
What Is the Standard Form? Notice the relationship between the negative exponent and the placement of the decimal to the left x
Writing Large Numbers in Scientific Notation Move the decimal to the right two place values. 6 x 10 2 = 600
Remember! The exponent is the same as the number of zeros. 6 x 10 2 = 600
What is the Standard Number? 9.2 x 10 4 = 92,000
