SCIENTIFIC NOTATION
MULTIPLICATION x * DIVISION÷
Let's see:
W always requires one significant digit before the comma, but not zero. MULTIPLICATION 5 × 103 × 2 × 104
W Comma shift left = positive exponent (value gets bigger) =(5 × 2) × 10(3+4)
W Commas fringe to the right = negative exponent (value gets smaller)
(𝑎𝑛 )(𝑎𝑚 ) = 𝑎𝑛+𝑚 =10 × 107
ALSO CALLED THE 10TH MAGNOTATION
=1 × 108
W Express numbers as a product of 2 numbers :
3
5 × 10 ÷ 2 × 10 4
SHARING
[𝑁 × 10𝑛 ] =(5 ÷ 2) × 10(3−4)
N = number term [any number between 1 & 9,999…] (𝑎𝑛 )
n = positive / negative number =2,5 × 10−1 𝑚
= 𝑎𝑛−𝑚
(𝑎 )
=0,25
ADD + * SUBTRACT -
POWERS [OF NUMBERS]
W Step 1 :REDUCE all the numbers to the SAME power of 10
[same exponent]
W Step 2 :number terms added / subtracted (𝑎𝑛 )𝑚 = 𝑎𝑛𝑚
5 × 105 + 2 × 104 (5 × 103 )2
=50 × 104 + 2 × 104 =52 × 10(3 ×2) → raise numerical
term to indicated
= 52 × 104 = 25 × 106
power & multiply
=5,2 × 105 =2,5 × 107 exponent by indicated
power

=√36 × 102 =√53 × 106 Distance to nearest star 1016 m
= √53 × 10(6÷2) Nearest galaxy 1022 m
= √36 × 10(2÷2)
Farthest visible galaxy 1026 m
