4. Scientific Notation
The first factor is greater than or equal to 1, but less than 10 and the second factor is a power of 10.
A short-hand way of writing
large numbers without
writing all of the zeros.

5. A number written using digits and place value .
Standard
Form
A number written using digits and place value .

6. Tell whether or not the following numbers are in scientific notation.
a.) .45 * b.) 7.15 * c.) 56 * 102
Yes because 7.15 is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10
No because 56 is greater than 10
No because .45 is less than 1

7. The Distance From the Sun to the Earth
93,000,000
Write this number in scientific notation

8. Step 1 93,000,000 = 9.3000000 Move decimal left
Leave only one number in front of decimal (so the number is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10)
93,000,000 =

9. Step 2
Write number without zeros
93,000,000 = 9.3

10. Step 3 7 93,000,000 = 9.3 x 10 Count how many places you moved decimal
Make that your power of ten
93,000,000 = 9.3 x 10 7

11. The power of ten is 7 because the decimal moved 7 places. 7
93,000,000 = 9.3 x 10 7
