Math junkies/ nerds help!?

Question

We're going over Scientific Notation right now in math, but I don't understand how you could possibly put a single number into scientific notation, so please help me out here.

The question I'm stumped on, asks me to put 9 into scientific notation.

First person to answer correctly will get best answer.

Answer 1

9x10^0



9 x 10^3....then it's 9,000



if it's

9.15 x 10^3...then it's 9,150



Basically move the decimal place of the number to the right of what the exponent above the 10 is...

[i find the title offensive...not every math person is a nerd...]

Answer 2

The form is :

(a number between 0 ~ 10) * 10^n



for example if the number is 36500, the scientific notation is:



3.65 * 10^4



so 9 is already in its scientific notation

or

9* 10^0 wich equals 9

Answer 3

9 x 10^0



any number none 0 number to the 0 power is 1



90 = 9 x10^1



8,143 = 8.143 x 10^3



the reason for scientific notation is the values used are so large and so small they become unwieldy without it



the link below explains better than I can. I suggest you bookmark it as purplemath explains many math concepts very well.

Answer 4

Si Notation is by definition:



A whole integer number times a Power of ten



10^0 = 1

10^1 = 10



9 = 9 * 1 = 9 * 10^0



does that make any sense?



10^-2 = 1/ (10^-2): the minus indicates 1 divided by the positive power



there is more to learn. study powers and root and multiplication and division by adding and subracting exponents.



Hope that helps

Answer 5

9 in scientific notation is:



9x10^0



it could also be:

0.009x10^3 <=== see if you move the decimal place 3 times to the right you'll get 9

0.0009x10^4

0.00009x10^5



it could also be:

9000x10^-3

90000x10^-4



now i'm just playing with your head..

Answer 6

the answer is 9 times 10 to the exponent of 0

like 9 X 10^0

the ^ is exponent



this is because anything to the exponent or power of 0 is equal to 1



.... :) now best answer me ;)

Answer 7

i dont think it can be converted.. maybe 9x10^0.. haha.. sorry..
