Math 116 – Technical Math – Scientific Notation Worksheet
(Please do your work on another piece of paper)
620,000,000 can be written in Scientific Notation as 6.2 * 108 (or 6.2 e 8 or 6.2 E 8, but not 6.28 )
–0.00000045 can be written in Scientific Notation as –4.5 * 10−7
If the number in front (the 6.2 or the -4.5 from above) is positive, then the number is greater than zero.
If the number in front is negative, then the number is less than zero.
If the exponent is positive, then the number is a long way from zero on the number line.
If the exponent is negative, then the number is very close to zero on the number line.
