OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Do you know what "notation" means?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

@smackahoe are you still there?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Notation is a way of writing something, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it's 8.06*10^-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think skullpatrol?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

I think the particular answer is not as important as understanding what "scientific notation" means...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i remember reading that it's a kind of notation scientists use to simplify their huge experimental results while conveying it to one another

OpenStudy (anonymous):

basically it's just using powers of ten, keeping in mind the significant figures of the original number
