Question
Write 35 in scientific notation.
Answer
$$ 35 = 3.5\cdot 10^{1} $$
Explanation
Step 1: Since 35 do not have a decimal point, we will add one at the end of the number 35.
35.
Step 2: Move the decimal point from its current position (the black dot) to a position immediately to the right of the first nonzero digit (the red dot).
3.5.
Step 3: We moved the decimal point 1 spaces to the right. Therefore, the exponent on base 10 will be positive 1.Now we know that the:
Mantissa = 3.5
Exponent = 1
So, the solution is:
$$35 = \color{blue}{ 3.5} \cdot 10^{ \color{red}{ 1 }}$$This page was created using
