Answer to Problem 71A

If the decimal is moved to the left, the power of 10 will be negative. The more negative the exponent value, smaller the number is. Moving the decimal in opposite direction gives a positive number.

Explanation of Solution

Scientific notation is a term used to express any number as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by 10 raised to a power. If the decimal is moved to the left, the power of 10 will be negative. The more negative the exponent value, smaller the number is. Moving the decimal in opposite direction gives a positive number.

Conclusion

If the decimal is moved to the left, the power of 10 will be negative. The more negative the exponent value, smaller the number is. Moving the decimal in opposite direction gives a positive number.
