Recognizing a number that is in scientific notation

A number in scientific notation has the following requirements. One of the factors (usually the first number) is between 1 and 10. This number may be one but it may not be over 10. The other factor is a power of 10. The exponent may be any integer.

For example 9.7 x 10^5 is correct scientific notation, but 97 x 10^4 is not.


Homework tonight is pg. 132 numbers 11-29 (odd) and numbers 30-34, 36-44.

Also, don't forget grades for this progress report get exported this friday. You must also complete another study island assignment before friday at 5 p.m.
