For my scientific notation portfolio answer, I will be solving the problem of converting a large number into scientific notation.
Example Problem:
Convert the number 8,900,000,000 into scientific notation.
Solution:
To convert a number into scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point to form a number between 1 and 10. We count the number of decimal places we need to move the decimal point, and that number becomes the exponent of 10.
First, let's count the number of decimal places we need to move the decimal point. In this case, we need to move it 9 places to the left to get a number between 1 and 10.
Next, we write the number as 8.9 and multiply it by 10 raised to the power of 9.
Therefore, 8,900,000,000 in scientific notation is 8.9 x 10^9.
