Study Notes

Writing Numbers in Standard Form

  • Standard form expresses very large or very small numbers concisely.
  • The form is a x 10n, where:
    • 'a' is a number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10.
    • 'n' is an integer (whole number).
  • A positive 'n' indicates a large number, where the decimal point is moved to the right 'n' places.
  • A negative 'n' indicates a small number, where the decimal point is moved to the left 'n' places.

Converting to Standard Form

  • Identify the value for 'a' by placing the decimal point in the original number so that 'a' is between 1 and 10.
  • Count the number of places the decimal point moved.
  • This count is the value of 'n'.
    • If the decimal point moved to the right, 'n' is positive.
    • If the decimal point moved to the left, 'n' is negative.

Converting from Standard Form

  • Determine the sign and value of 'n'.
  • Move the decimal point in 'a' to the right if 'n' is positive.
  • Move the decimal point in 'a' to the left if 'n' is negative.
  • Add zeros as placeholders as needed.

Examples

  • 39,000 = 3.9 x 104
  • 0.0000467 = 4.67 x 10-5
  • 3.2 x 102 = 320
  • 1.8 x 10-3 = 0.0018
