Question

write each of the following numbers using scientific notation 0.41125​

Answer 1

$\mathrm{Scientific\:notation\:is\:in\:the\:form\:}a\times 10^b\:\mathrm{where}\:\:1\le a<10\mathrm{\:and\:}b\mathrm{\:is\:an\:integer.}\:$

$\longrightarrow\mathrm{Move\:the\:decimal\:point\:to\:the\:\mathrm{right}\:to\:create\:a\:new\:number\:from\:1\:up\:to\:10}$

• $a=4.1125$

$\longrightarrow\mathrm{Count\:the\:number\:of\:times\:you\:moved\:the\:decimal\:point}$

• $b=1$

$\longrightarrow\mathrm{Moving\:the\:decimal\:point\:to\:the\:right\:the\:exponent\:is\:negative}$

$=4.1125\times \:10^{-1}$
