    You are doing an EXCELLENT job of explaining these concepts. I heard it said once, that the true mark of an excellent teacher is his/her ability to take difficult concepts and present them in a way that makes them appear simple. You have done just that! As a homeschooling mom of four, we have had the opportunity to sit under the instruction of many teachers .... you are among the best!!! Thanks - wish you much success!

  • @cinderellastar6531
    @cinderellastar6531 10 років тому +90

    These rules are EASIER.
    If it was originally a WHOLE number, the exponent will also be POSITIVE.
    If it was originally a DECIMAL number, the exponent will be NEGATIVE.
    I don't know... that's just what works for me.

    • @tdewitt451
      @tdewitt451  10 років тому +41

      Yeah, I think those rules are good for many cases, and you should definitely use them if they work. The reason I like my method is because it also works really well for when you have to turn scientific notation back into regular numbers. And when you have a number like 0.00045 x 10-5 that you have to turn into correct scientific notation, that can also get tricky if you don't have a good sense of how the exponent goes up or down as you move the decimal place left or right.

    • @nadaakoubaa8519
      @nadaakoubaa8519 9 років тому

      You can't put it in scientific notation, because when you do use scientific notation you raise a power to 10 and no matter what you raise it to, the outcome will always be a bunch of zeroes.

    • @tdewitt451
      @tdewitt451  9 років тому +25

      +Nadaa Koubaa You can put any number into scientific notation. Just follow the rules in this video. Wherever the decimal place currently is, that's 10^0. Then just start moving it to the left and make the exponent bigger. So your first example, 100.009, you'd move it two spots to the left and you'd get 1.00009 x 10^2. Make sense?

    • @Aaron-gp8cp
      @Aaron-gp8cp 7 років тому +4

      You can do it with the second example as well, the number doesn't have to be 0. For the second example, the answer would be 1.5699 x 10^2, you'd move the decimal two spots to the left, just like for the second example. Scientific notation works for all numbers.

    I wish my teachers were like you, people can understand you easily for only a short time!

    Thank you! You really have a gift for teaching. My math final is tomorrow and I just had a 'light bulb' learning moment. Thanks again!

    I'm 32 years old an decided to go back to school, Is not easy, I feel that I'm too old to learn, adding to that, English is my second language. So every chapter my teacher explain at school I come home and search if Tyler has a video to look at, the way he explain is excellent!

    Tyler, you understand me. you know im really lazy and that math is really hard for me. You know i don't have the time or patience to type all those zeros and you even told me how i can avoid it. Thank you Tyler.
