Scientific notation
Scientific notation is a way of writing number. It is especially useful when we want to express very large and small numbers. There are two parts in scientific notation. The first part consists of digits, and the second part is x 10 to a power.
Basic Concepts: Using exponents to describe numbers, Exponent rules, Order of operations with exponents
Related Concepts: Exponents: Product rule (ax)(ay)=a(x+y), Exponents: Power rule (ax)y=a(x⋅y), Exponents: Negative exponents
