have you learned this before

b3lla2006:

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10 . If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive. 6.682 × 10 − 6

CashMoneyDay:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @CashMoneyDay but there is a 0 before the decimal \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) scientific means you move over your decimal

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @b3lla2006 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @CashMoneyDay but there is a 0 before the decimal \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) that's how I learned it \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) so do I not count it

b3lla2006:

so what you do is when you move the decimal to the left it makes it postivie when you move it to the right it's negative

CashMoneyDay:

b3lla2006:

b3lla2006:

54.160 how many times did you move over the decimal

CashMoneyDay:

7 times would the problem be 5.416 x 10^7

b3lla2006:
