Scientific Notation:
Scientific notation uses powers of ________ to write decimal numbers. Numbers written in scientific
notation contain a number between _________ and ________ multiplied by a power of ____________.
For example, the number 3.1 x 102, is in scientific notation. The number 45 x 102 is not in scientific
notation.
1. Write numbers in decimal form in scientific notation
a. Change 450 to scientific notation.
4.5x102 A number between ________ and _________ is needed. Move the decimal two places to the
left to get 4.5. Therefore, the power of 10 is a +2, since we moved the decimal two places to the
left.
b. Change .00987 to scientific notation.
9.87x10-3 A number between _______ and _______ is needed. Move the decimal three places to the
right to get 9.87. Therefore, the power of 10 is a -3, since we moved the decimal three places to
the right.
2. Rewrite numbers in scientific notation in decimal form.
a. Rewrite 3.4 x 103 in decimal form. 3,400. Since there is a positive power of 3, move the
decimal 3 places to the _________________.
b. Rewrite 1.87 x 10-5 in decimal form. .0000187. Since there is a negative power of 5,
move the decimal 5 places to the ____________________.
3. Multiply (5.4 x 103)(2.2 x 105)
(5.4 x 2.2)(103x105)
Regroup into decimals and powers of 10.
