Detailed Description
- Scientific Notation:
- Scientific notation is a way to express very large or very small numbers in the form a×10ba×10b, where aa is a number between 1 and 10, and bb is an integer.
- Example: 5.6×1035.6×103 is written as
5.6e3
.
- Operations:
- Addition: Adds two numbers in scientific notation.
- Example: 5.6×103+7.2×103=12.8×1035.6×103+7.2×103=12.8×103.
- Subtraction: Subtracts the second number from the first.
- Example: 5.6×103−7.2×103=−1.6×1035.6×103−7.2×103=−1.6×103.
- Multiplication: Multiplies two numbers in scientific notation.
- Example: 5.6×103×7.2×103=40.32×1065.6×103×7.2×103=40.32×106.
- Division: Divides the first number by the second.
- Example: 5.6×103÷7.2×103=0.777…5.6×103÷7.2×103=0.777….
- Addition: Adds two numbers in scientific notation.
