| Yeah . Now i do. You can go on. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| ok. The second number is called the base . It must always be 10 in scientific notation. The base number 10 is always written in exponent form. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Oh. I get it so much better. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| In the # 1.23 x 10 to the 11th power the # 11 is referred to as the exponent or power of ten. To put it in scientific notation you must put the decimal after the first digit and drop the zeros. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| So the # 123,000,000,000 the coefficient is 1.23. To find the exponent count the # of places from the decimal to the end of the #. In 123,000,000,000 there are 11 places. so how would you write it. | |
| | |
|
 |
| | |
| Oh i know 1.23 x 10 to the 11th power. | |
