Study Notes
Real-Life Applications of Exponents and Radicals
- Heat Transfer: To raise the temperature of 1 gram of aluminum by 1°C, 0.21 calories of heat are required.
- Distance in Space: The closest distance between Uranus and Earth is roughly 2.57 × 10⁹ km.
- Atomic Mass: A neutron's mass is approximately 1.675 × 10⁻²⁴ grams.
- Area and Length: A square carpet with an area of 21 m² has sides measuring √21 meters.
Advantages of Exponential and Radical Notation
- Concise Representation: Exponential notation allows for representing extremely large or small numbers in a compact way. For example, the approximate number of atoms in the human body, represented as a 29-digit number in decimal notation (100,000...0), can be simplified to 10²⁹.
- Scientific Accuracy: Exponential notation provides accurate representations of numbers, especially in fields like astronomy, physics, and chemistry, where dealing with extremely large or small values is common.
Why Decimal Notation for Timing in a 100-meter Race?
- Specificity and Precision: Decimal notation provides a more precise way to record finish times, allowing for differentiation between athletes who finish close together.
