need help on this (ss below)
Alright, so think of this for just moving the decimal place. Since we have 10 to the fifth power, and our exponent on that ten is positive, we'll move the decimal 5 places to the right from the number it's multiplying. With this knowledge, can you now calculate this?
no!
would it be = 14300.
Alright, so let's say I had something like 5.37 * 10^8. Since my exponent is 8 on the 10^8, I'll move the decimal of 5.37 8 places to the right, giving me 537,000,000
how do you do standard notattion
I just explained how. That IS standard notation in a nutshell. Still don't get it?
i was thinking it would be 12800 would thaty be right
for the second image
No, as our exponent is four on the 10^4, so what does that mean with the previous explanations I've given?
move the decmil 4 times
Yes, but more specifically 4 times to the right. What do you get when you do this?
12800.
Correct. I'm silly and I saw an extra zero. Gotta get my glasses on, man. Sorry about that.
thats fine
if its nequtive like my next one do i move it to the left
Mhm!
is my answer correct
That is, in fact, correct.
is the answer = 91298.15
That's how you would write it in numerical form, not standard notation. To get this into standard notation, the first thing we have to do is move the decimal place back between the 9 and 1 at the beginning. Your exponent on the * 10 will be how many times you move that decimal place back towards the left and/or right.
So, you should have something like this example: 6.367464 * 10^4
can u do it for me please
Nope! I can't. The best I can do is help guide you.
91298
is that right so far
No, not quite. You're overthinking this.
You gotta get it to where the decimal place is to the right of the nine, so move the decimal back that many place values. The number of times you move it back will be the exponent (represented by x) on your ten in the equation (y * 10^x)
y is the value of your constant (or number) you need to put into standard form and have moved the decimal around in.
would it be 10 x ^5
No, not quite. We're not estimating here.
this is so stupid
im so confused
I'm afraid I can't do much more... I've broken it down as much as I can...
can we do it in dms
No, we can't. I'm helping you right here and right now. I've given you explanations and all the info you need. If you still don't get it, I recommend looking up some videos on Standard Form.
can i have help on this one
Now, you're going to convert them all like how you did with the diameter of the Earth and Jupiter problems, then add all of the different values in parenthesis together.
If you have an exponent that is 0, then the value with the exponent of 0 is also 0.
.0689 is this the answert
No, not quite. Try it again.
is it 6800.
No, not quite. Remember with 10s that have a negative exponent value you need to move the decimal to the left.
68.00
Don't forget to add the 9 * 10^-2
