Question

PLEASE HELP ME I DON'T GET THIS!!

Answer 1

Answer:

the first one should be 5.28x10^-2 and the second one should be 3.2x10^6

Step-by-step explanation:

because with 0.0528 you move the decimal right twice. which makes it negative.

with 3,200,000 you assume that the decimal is at the end and move it between the three and the two. making it have 6 moves. since it moves left its positive

Answer 2

Answer:

0.0528=5.28*10^-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is a simpler way to write very large or very small numbers. In this case, you want to write a small number in simpler form. To write in scientific notation, the number being multiplied always has to be between 1 and 10. Here, it is 5.28, so we aren't breaking the rule. You can see that we moved the decimal two places to the right, which is going to make the exponent negative (the opposite applies for larger numbers). To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal place to the right or left until you get a number between 1 and 10. Then, if you moved to the right, multiply the number that is between 1 and 10 by 10 the the negative [# of spaces that you moved the decimal] power. If you moved it left, do the same but a positive exponent. To convert from scientific notation, write the number that is being multipied by 10 on a sheet of paper. if the exponent is negative, you'll have to move the decimal left for every number that the exponent is. For example, if the exponent was -5, you would move the decimal to the left 5 times. If it was just 5, you would move the decimal to the right 5 times. Then, there's your number.
