Question

Am I on the right track?
write in scientific notation
3268=3.268x10^3
415.1=41.1x10^-3
0.000493=4.93x10^-4
10 000=1.000x10^4
0.0798=7.98x10^-2

Answer 1

Answer 7

In "scientific notation" ; the (single) digit before decimal point ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

The number in 10^{.} signifies the number of digits over which the decimal point jumped towards left. We use a negative number if the decimal point is shifted towards right.

As the number in scientific notation doesn't changes it value, you can always simplify it to get back the original number.

Now can you tell if "14983.2 would it be 1.49832x10^4" in scientific notation or not ??

Answer 8

i think it is correct
