SCIENTIFIC NOTATION

Front

What is scientific notation?

Back

A method of expressing numbers as a product of a coefficient and a power of 10, typically in the form a x 10^n, where 1 ≤ a < 10 and n is an integer.

Front

What is the correct format for scientific notation?

Back

The coefficient must be between 1 and 10, and it is multiplied by 10 raised to an integer power.

Front

Which of the following is correct scientific notation: 20.35 x 10^4, .2035 x 10^4, 2035^4, 2.035 x 10^4?

Back

2.035 x 10^4

Front

What is the simplified version of 3.9 x 10^6 and 4 x 10^20?

Back

4 x 10^6

Only one digit.

Front

Add (5.2 x 10^7) + (3.01 x 10^4) in scientific notation.

Back

5.20301 x 10^7

Front

What is the value of 10^0?

Back

1, since any number raised to the power of zero is 1.

Front

How do you multiply numbers in scientific notation?

Back

Multiply the coefficients and add the exponents: (a x 10^m) * (b x 10^n) = (a*b) x 10^(m+n).

Front

How do you divide numbers in scientific notation?

Back

Divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents: (a x 10^m) / (b x 10^n) = (a/b) x 10^(m-n).
