Exercise 2.3

The document provides examples of converting numbers between standard form and usual form. It explains that for standard form, the powers of 10 are determined by the number of digits after moving the decimal point to the left of the first non-zero digit. For usual form, positive powers are converted by multiplying and placing the decimal after counting digits from the right, while negative powers move the decimal left by the power amount. The document works through examples of converting numbers between the two forms.

1. Express the following numbers in standard form:


(i) 6020000000000000
Solution:
To express 6020000000000000 in standard form, count the total digits

T IO S
leaving 1st digit from the left. So the total number of digits becomes the

I
NO A D
power of 10. Therefore, the decimal comes after the 1st digit.

CO N
A
the total digits leaving 1st digit from the left is 15

To express 0.00000000000942 in standard form,


Any number after the decimal point the powers become negative. Total
digits after decimal is 12
∴ the standard form is 9.42 × 10-12

(iii) 0.00000000085
Solution:
To express 0.00000000085 in standard form,
Any number after the decimal point the powers become negative. Total
digits after decimal is 10
∴ the standard form is 8.5 × 10-10

(iv) 846 × 107


Solution:
To express 846 × 107 in standard form, count the total digits leaving 1st
digit from the left. So the total number of digits becomes the power of 10.
Therefore, the decimal comes after the 1st digit.

T IO S
the total digits leaving 1st digit from the left is 2

To express 3759 × 10-4 in standard form, count the total digits leaving 1st
digit from the left. So the total number of digits becomes the power of 10.
C

Therefore, the decimal comes after the 1st digit.

the total digits leaving 1st digit from the left is 3


3759 × 10-4 = 3.759 × 103 × 10-4 = 3.759 × 103+(-4) = 3.759 × 10-1

(vi) 0.00072984
Solution:
To express 0.00072984 in standard form,
Any number after the decimal point the powers become negative. Total
digits after decimal is 4
∴ the standard form is 7.2984 × 10-4
(vii) 0.000437 × 104
Solution:
To express 0.000437 × 104 in standard form,
Any number after the decimal point the powers become negative. Total
digits after decimal is 4
∴ the standard form is 4.37 × 10-4 × 104 = 4.37

2. Write the following numbers in the usual form:


©

(i) 4.83 × 107


Solution:
When the powers are positive the usual form of number is written after
the multiplication of the given number, then place the decimal point after
counting from right.
4.83 × 10000000 = 4830000000
48300000.00
∴ the usual form is 48300000

(ii) 3.02 × 10-6


Solution:
When the powers are negative the decimal is placed to the left of the
number.
3.02 × 10-6 here, the power is -6, so the decimal shifts 6 places to left.
∴ the usual form is 0.00000302

(iii) 4.5 × 104

(iv) 3 × 10-8
Solution:
When the powers are negative the decimal is placed to the left of the
number.
3 × 10-6 here, the power is -8, so the decimal shifts 8 places to left.
∴ the usual form is 0.00000003

(v) 1.0001 × 109


Solution:
When the powers are positive the usual form of number is written after
the multiplication of the given number, then place the decimal point after
counting from right.
1.0001 × 1000000000 = 10001000000000
1000100000.0000
∴ the usual form is 1000100000

(vii) 3.61492 × 106


Solution:
When the powers are positive the usual form of number is written after
the multiplication of the given number, then place the decimal point after
counting from right.
3.61492 × 1000000 = 361492000000
3614920.00000
∴ the usual form is 3614920
(vii) 3.25 × 10-7
Solution:
When the powers are negative the decimal is placed to the left of the
number.
3.25 × 10-7 here, the power is -7, so the decimal shifts 7 places to left.
∴ the usual form is 0.000000325
