Question

to convert a number from standard notation into scientific notation, the decimal point must be moved so that the number is betweenthe number after moving the decimal point cannot be than ten or than one. once the decimalpoint has been moved, the number will be multiplied by and the exponent will be the number of decimal spaces the decimal pointmust be moved in order to get back to the original number. a exponent means the decimal must be moved that many spaces tothe left and a exponent means it must be moved that many spaces to the right in order to get back to the original number.negative less 1-10 positive more 10

Explanation:

1. Scientific notation requires the coefficient to be in the range of 1 to 10, so the first blank is filled with "1-10".
2. The coefficient cannot be equal to or greater than 10, so the second blank is "more".
3. The coefficient cannot be less than 1, so the third blank is "less".
4. Scientific notation multiplies the coefficient by a power of 10, so the fourth blank is "10".
5. A positive exponent means the decimal moves right to return to the original number, so the fifth blank is "positive".
6. A negative exponent means the decimal moves left to return to the original number, so the sixth blank is "negative".

Answer:

1. First blank: 1-10
2. Second blank: more
3. Third blank: less
4. Fourth blank: 10
5. Fifth blank: positive
6. Sixth blank: negative

Filled passage:
To convert a number from standard notation into scientific notation, the decimal point must be moved so that the number is between 1-10. The number after moving the decimal point cannot be more than ten or less than one. Once the decimal point has been moved, the number will be multiplied by 10 and the exponent will be the number of decimal spaces the decimal point must be moved in order to get back to the original number. A positive exponent means the decimal must be moved that many spaces to the left and a negative exponent means it must be moved that many spaces to the right in order to get back to the original number.
