Both B and E. You use scientific notation when a number is too big or too small. Too big: -When you have a number like 658,000, you move the decimal to be after the first nonzerodigit which is 6.58000. -n=the number of spaces you move from the original decimal place. n is positive when the number is bigger than 1, n is negative when the number is smaller than 1. -You moved the decimal 5 spaces, so n=5 (since 658,000 is positive, n is positive too.) -So the scientific notation of 658,000 is 6.58 × 10^{5}
