write the following number is scientific notation 627,000,000,000
6.7x10^11
enter rounded to two decimals and the exponent p of the base 10
the general form for scientific notation is a * 10^n where a is >0 and < 10 ; n is an integer look for the decimal if you move to the left you are dividing so you multiply to keep the balance if you move to the right you are multiplying so you divide to keep the balance n is the number of places you have to move the decimal
Here is an example of a problem we already did... Write the following numbers in scientific notations 300,000,000-Answer 3 10^8
@17nikita17 what direction you need to move the decimal point? and how many places?
We need to move to the left I came up with 62 10^10 but that was wrong
because a must be less than 10
Would it be 62.7?
a * 10^n
And I have no idea about the rest because it was moved 10 places??
I believe you are doing a more advanced method. This is basic Algebra
