MATH
Change the highlighted numbers below into exponential/ scientific notation.
This is by far the largest group in the animal kingdom: 97 percent of all
animals are invertebrates. So far, 1.25 million species have been described,
most of which are insects, and there are millions more to be discovered. The
total number of invertebrate species could be 5, 10, or even 30 million, compared to just 60,000 vertebrates.
Given Exponential/scientific notation
97 percent - ___________________________
1.25 million - ___________________________
30 million - ___________________________
60, 000 - __________________________

Given Exponential/scientific notation
97 percent - 9.7 × [tex]10^{1}[/tex]
1.25 million - 1.25 × [tex]10^{6}[/tex]
30 million - 3 × [tex]10^{7}[/tex]
60, 000 - 6 × [tex]10^{4}[/tex]
Example: Convert 357,096 to Scientific Notation
- Move the decimal 5 places to the left to get 3.57096
- a = 3.57096
- We moved the decimal to the left so b is positive
- b = 5
- The number 357,096 converted to scientific notation is 3.57096 x 10^5
