1. Percent Increase or Decrease
2.Name some large number situations that you would want to use SN to solve instead of standard form.
3.Name some small number situations that you would want to use SN to solve instead of standard form.
1. Percent Increase or Decrease: Semi-normalized form can be used to easily calculate the percentage increase or decrease of a number. By converting the number to SN, it is easier to see the change in value and calculate the percentage difference.
2. Large number situations where SN can be more useful than standard form:
- Calculating the national debt of a country
- Determining the population of a city or country
- Analyzing the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a country
- Estimating the market capitalization of a large company
- Determining the total revenue of a multinational corporation
3. Small number situations where SN can be more useful than standard form:
- Measuring the atomic mass of an element
- Calculating the size of nanoparticles
- Estimating the concentration of a chemical in a solution
- Determining the thickness of thin films or coatings
- Measuring the resolution of an optical device
