Very big and very small numbers are hard to write down because of all the zeroes and they're also hard to quickly evaluate and compare.

Instead of using a long sequence of decimal digits to represent numbers, scientific notation uses a shorter number multiplied by a power of 10 and it's always in that form and if it's not, it's not in  proper scientific notation.

Scientific notation uses positive exponents to represent very large numbers and negative exponents to represent very small numbers.

I have attached an image which shows what scientific can be used for and an example of a number written in scientific notation.

Does this model represent a compound? Explain your<br> answer
zvonat [6]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The model shows two similar elements.

Although we do not know what the element is, we can conclude that the model is not a compound.

This is because the definition of  a compound is when two different elements join.

However, the model has two similar elements, which forms a molecule, not a compound.

A first number plus a second number is 10. Twice the first number plus the second totals 26.
MakcuM [25]
1st number = x
2nd number = y

2x + y = 26
                    -
  x + y = 10

x = 16

26 - (2 x 16) = -6

10 - 16 = -6


Number 1 is 16
Number 2 is -6
