1. Scientific Notation

2. Vocabulary Scientific notation Standard form Product form

3. Scientific Notation Form c x 10^n where c ≥ 1, c < 10, and n is an integer. Example: Standard formProduct formScientific Notation 56, 780, 000 = 5.678 x 10, 000, 000 = 5.678 x 10^7

4. From Standard Form to Scientific Notation Step 1: Identify how many places (n) do you have to move the decimal point to leave only one digit to the left side of the decimal point. Step 2: Move the decimal point. If the decimal point is moved to the right, write n as a negative number. If the decimal point is moved to the left, write n as a positive number. Step 3: Multiply times 10 to the n power.

5. From Standard Form to Scientific Notation Example: 8, 450, 000 Step 1: 8, 450, 000n = 6 Step 2: 8.45 Step 3: 8.45 x 10^6

6. From Standard Form to Scientific Notation Example: 0.0000078 Step 1: 0.0000078n = -6 Step 2: 7.8 Step 3: 7.8 x 10^-6
