how would you use Scientific notation
like take 9,000,000,000,000.0 and put in Scientific notation it would look something like these
9.0 x 10^12
9.0 x 10^12
examples
10000 = 1 x 10424327 = 2.4327 x 104
1000 = 1 x 1037354 = 7.354 x 103
100 = 1 x 102482 = 4.82 x 102
10 = 1 x 10189 = 8.9 x 101
1 = 100
1/10 = 0.1 = 1 x 10-10.32 = 3.2 x 10-1
1/100 = 0.01 = 1 x 10-20.053 = 5.3 x 10-2
1/1000 = 0.001 = 1 x 10-30.0078 = 7.8 x 10-3
1/10000 = 0.0001 = 1 x 10-40.00044 = 4.4 x 10-4
