Question
Explanation / Answer
4 (a)
If the power of 10 is negetive the decimal point moves to the left and If the power of 10 is positive the decimal point moves to the right.
To convert the scientic number 2.87*10^-3 into decimal number move the decimal point three places to the left (since the power of 10 is negetive, the decimal point moves to the left)
Therefore, moving the decimal point three places to the left the obtained standard decimal number is 0.00287.
(b)
To convert the scientic number 1.972*10^9 into decimal number move the decimal point nine places to the right (since the power of 10 is positivethe decimal point moves to the right)
Therefore, moving the decimal point nine places to the right the obtained standard decimal number is 1972000000.
.2.87*10^-3 is 0.00287.
5(a)
The general format of scientic numbers is (a.bcd)X10^z. This means that there should be only one digit to the left of the decimal point.
To convert 3526.95 to a scientific notation you simply move the decimal point to the left until only 1 digit is to the left of the decimal point. Here to convert 3526.95 to scientific notation move the decimal point 3 places to the left. Thererfore, the answer is 3.52695X103 .
(b)
To convert .006689 to a scientific notation you simply move the decimal point to the right until only 1 digit is to the left of the decimal point. Here to convert 006689 to scientific notation move the decimal point 1 places to the right. Thererfore, the answer is 6.689 x 10-3 .
6) a. 10^4*10^-6*10^-3*10^14=10^9
the answer for 10^4*10^-6*10^-3*10^14 is 10^19.
6)b.1/4.6*10^6*1.8*10^-6*6.7*10^-3 is 0.055476
answer is 0.055476
