Converting Scientific Notation to Standard Form

This video tutorial explains how to convert scientific notation into normal numerical notation through three examples. The first example demonstrates converting a number with a positive exponent, while the second and third examples focus on numbers with negative exponents. The tutorial provides step-by-step guidance on moving the decimal point to achieve the correct numerical representation.

What direction do you move the decimal place when converting a scientific notation with a positive exponent?

• To the right

• Depends on the number

• No movement needed

• To the left
