Question

suppose some computations were done on a calculator. the result displayed was 6.58e-37 for one computation. the result displayed was 7.4e27 for another computation. write these numbers in scientific notation. (a) 6.58e-37 = (b) 7.4e27 =

Explanation:

Step1: Convert calculator E-notation to scientific notation

The "E" in calculator notation represents "×10^", so rewrite 6.58E-37 using standard scientific notation format.
$6.58 \times 10^{-37}$

Step2: Convert calculator E-notation to scientific notation

Similarly, rewrite 7.4E27 using standard scientific notation format.
$7.4 \times 10^{27}$

Answer:

(a) $6.58 \times 10^{-37}$
(b) $7.4 \times 10^{27}$
