Answer: m × 10n, where m is a number between 1 and 10 ( 1 ≤ |m| < 10 ) and the exponent n is a positive or negative integer.
Explanation:
1) Move the decimal 1 times to right in the number so that the resulting number, m = 7.14, is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10
2) Since we moved the decimal to the right the exponent n is negative
n = -1
3) Write in the scientific notation form m × 10n
= 7.14 × 10-1
Therefore,
7.14 × 10-1 is the scientific notation form of 0.714 number and 7.14e-1 is the scientific e-notation form for 0.714
