Extremely Large and Small Numbers
Large and small numbers are prevalent in our world:
In 2011 the Use National Debt was:
$15,143,572,733,215
The mass of a dust particle is approximately:
0.000000000753 kg
Scientists have created an easier way to express these extreme numbers.
Standard Form or Decimal Form

Scientific Notation is based on Powers of Ten.

Numbers in Scientific Notation are written as:
c x 10n
where c is a decimal number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10 (Typically c is rounded to 2 or 3 decimal places) and n is an integer. Below are two examples:

By converting the power of 10 to Standard Form Notation, the true value of the Scientific Notation number can be obtained.
The positive 5 makes the number bigger, by moving the decimal 5 places to the right.
The negative 4 makes the number smaller, by moving the decimal 4 places to the left.

To convert Standard Form to Scientific Notation, find the largest power of ten such that when it divides the number, the result is between 1 and 10.
The number is made smaller by moving the decimal 13 places (power of ten needs is positive)

Most scientific calculator write in large and small numbers in Scientific Notation. In TI calculators the letter E stands for x10, for example
1.5 E12 = 1.5x1012
Make sure to rewrite what the calculator displays into correct scientific notation.
Examples: Use the calculator to write the following expressions in Scientific Notation.
