Study Notes
Scientific Notation
- The exponent in scientific notation indicates the power of ten by which the coefficient is multiplied.
- A nonzero real number in scientific notation is expressed in the form of (m \times 10^n), where (m) represents the coefficient and (n) is the exponent.
- The usual range for the coefficient (m) in scientific notation is between 1 and 10 (1 ≤ m < 10).
Logarithms
- The fractional part of the common logarithm, often referred to as the "mantissa," represents the decimal component of the logarithmic value.
Arithmetic Systems
- Scientific notation is closely related to the decimal system, which is the standard numeral system used universally for arithmetic and counting.
