1.56 x 10^4 in standard notation???

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you have any idea about this ? what mean standard notation ?

OpenStudy (mhchen):

I think you should've learned scientific notation, since that's what your given is. Standard notation just just multiplying that out so: 1.56 * 10^4 = 1.56 * 10000 = ? Can you solve it now?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

You just add 4 zeroes and remove the decimal point. 156'0000' Now, 1,560,000

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Hm....

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Hint, the exponent usually JUST indicate how many zeroes it will have/be added on in the 'SN', standard notation, form.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

You get it, or you want another way/explanation?

OpenStudy (1davey29):

You wouldn't add four zeros, just move the decimal over by four to the right

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

True. I was thinking of another tease, sorry, that was multiplication. I looked back on my reply. |dw:1475183288476:dw|

OpenStudy (mxrgn):

so i don't add four zeros? i'm sorry, i'm just terrible at math.

OpenStudy (1davey29):

No. You move the decimal to the right, so 1.56 becomes 15600.|dw:1475183560530:dw|

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Yes, I am sorry (I was on brb.) He/she is CORRECT. DO NOT FOLLOW THAT 'TEASER', that cheat only really goes for multiplication with tens. Not exponential formats. Say for instance, 10 x 5, 1 zero is sited. Therefore you simply add a 0 to the five, which is fifty. Get that? Yes. THIS does NOT go for standard ---> scientific notation or vice versa. You actually MOVE the decimal point over to the right, by how many times it tells you in the exponent place.|dw:1475183899504:dw| NOW, if it was a NEGATIVE exponent, then, you move it to the LEFT. Do you get it?
