1 Scientific Notation and Metric Units

2 SN is used for numbers that are very large or very small SN has a standard form: a nonzero number with one place to the left of a decimal point following by 10 raised to some power

3 Scientific Notation and Metric Units Which of these numbers is NOT expressed in standard scientific notation? a.3.0 X 10 4 b.56.2 X 10 -8 c.0.45 X 10 -7 d.1.9 X 10 9

4 Scientific Notation and Metric Units Using your calculator for scientific notation. Put these numbers into your calculator and press “enter”. a.0.00000000056 ________________ b.1,000,000,000,000 ________________ Note that your calculator has an EE button that is used for SN. Your calculator automatically expresses an answer in standard form. NEVER WRITE “E” IN AN ANSWER!

5 Scientific Notation and Metric Units Do questions 5 and 6 on page 164.
