Study the problems below, then continue.
9.15X 103 = ________ X 106
9.15 X 10-3 = ________ X 10-6
Solution:
Move the decimal point to the LEFT when the change in exponent is in a
POSITIVE direction. Move the decimal point to the RIGHT when the change in
exponent is in a NEGATIVE direction.
Thus:
9.15 X 103 = .00915X 106
9.15 X 10-3 = 9,150 X 10-6
NOTE:
Changing from 103 to 106 means the exponent changes by 3 in a POSITIVE
direction. Changing form 10-3 to 10-6 means the exponent changes by 3 in a
NEGATIVE direction.
