"Scientific notation (also referred to as "standard form" or "standard index form") is a way of writing numbers that are too big or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form." So what do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Yep, it's either one of those two. Scientific notation is a method of writing or displaying numbers in terms of a decimal number between 1 and 10, multiplied by a power of 10. - that's the scientific notation definition Standard form is a way to write numbers using the digits 0-9. -standard definition

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

So based on that, which do you think.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Well since the standards only uses numbers 1-9, 9 isn't really a big number, so I don't think it's c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so b

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Right, does that make sense?
