adding scientific notation calculator

In simple terms a scientific notation is a way of writing numbers which are too large or too small and can be written in standard decimal notation. Scientific notation has the number of useful properties which are more commonly used in calculators and also by the mathematicians, engineers and scientists. Exponential notation is the other name of scientific notation. In scientific notation all the numbers are written in the form of
  a * 10b  ; where the b in the exponential form is the integer, the coefficient a is any real number in other words the number 10 is also known as base. Power of ten notation is used to save our efforts. If the decimal moved to the left this means base has the positive exponent. And if it has negative exponent it will move to the right.
There are few steps can be followed to add and subtract any two numbers in the adding scientific notation calculator.
Step 1 is to adjust the power of 10 in the 2 number so that they can form the same index.
Step 2 is to add or subtract the number
step 3 is to give the answer in the scientific notation.
Now we will understand this with the help of the following instance.
Evaluate 3 * 10+ 6.3 * 104 and give your answer in the scientific notation.
Solution : 3 * 10+ 6.3 * 104

= 0.3 * 10+ 6.3 * 10( convert them into the same indices)

= (0.3 + 6.3 ) * 10(add the numbers)

= 6.6 * 10( answer in scientific notation.)

Few of the Algebra 2 problems are difficult to solve, algebra 2 tutor is available online to help you out. Work out TamilNadu board logic sample papers to score high in your examinations and In the next session we will discuss about subtracting integers worksheet.
